Wildfire Danger Increases

Typical coastal fall weather patterns of foggy mornings to hot sunny afternoons are raising the fire danger levels in western Oregon.

Oregon Department of Forestry wants to remind citizens that no open debris burning is allowed.  Burn barrels should not be ignited after 10:00 a.m.  Regulated Use is still in effect, hunter and campers should exercise caution while recreating in the forest.  Warming fires are not allowed.  Campfires are only permitted in designated camp sites. 



The Industrial Fire Prevention Levels will change at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday Sept. 6, 2012.  Weather zones NW I will be at Level I, NW2 at Level II, and NW3 at Level II until further notice.
