The Dalles Unit of the Oregon Department of Forestry has declared an end to fire season on all of the lands State Forestry protects in Wasco and Hood River counties.  Burn permits are still required year round for all burn barrels and debris piles.  A written burn plan is required for all slash piles.  If you live within a rural fire district, they must be contacted about their requirements.  Forestry officials ask everyone who plans to burn to do so safely, and in compliance with your burn permit or burn plan.  Brief warming and drying trends in the fall can cause a smoldering fire to reignite, or increase the intensity of your burn.
