A Regulated Use Closure has been declared for Oregon Department of Forestry’s Central Oregon District beginning at 12:01 am. Saturday. That includes private, municipal, and state owned lands protected by ODF’s Central Oregon District in Hood River and Wasco counties. The closure is intended to reduce wildfires related to high risk activities as wildland fuels dry out. A number of activities are restricted by the closure, with a complete list of restrictions available at ODFcentraloregon.com. In addition, open burning including burn barrels in Hood River and Wasco counties will be prohibited beginning Monday with the burn ban going into effect.
