Public Use Restriction are moving to HIGH

𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄

DFPA NEWS RELEASE: Due to the forecast of increased, above-normal temperatures, decreased relative humidity, and reduced overnight moisture recovery, the fire danger level will rise to HIGH. Effective Saturday, July 11, at 12:01 a.m., Public Use Restrictions (PURs) will increase to HIGH for all private, county, state, and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District, imposing certain fire restrictions on the public to help prevent wildfires.
What does this change mean to the public?

Non-industrial power saw usage, the cutting, grinding, or welding of metal, the cutting, trimming, or mowing of dried, cured grass, and power-driven machinery for non-industrial improvement or development on private property will only be allowed BEFORE 10 AM or AFTER 8 PM.

At this time, there will be no change to the Industrial Fire Precaution Levels. They will remain at IFPL2, districtwide.

Fire season is here, and everyone has a role in preventing wildfires. Remember, debris burning is prohibited. Campfires are only allowed at designated sites, and fireworks, exploding targets, tracer ammunition, and sky lanterns are prohibited. Smoke only in enclosed vehicles on improved roads, boats on the water, or other designated locations. Keep vehicles on improved roads, carry the required firefighting tools, and use charcoal or pellet barbecues only at maintained residential home sites with water or a fire extinguisher nearby.

One spark can change everything. Follow fire season restrictions, use caution with outdoor activities, and help reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires. Keep Oregon Green.

🎆 FIREWORKS AND FORESTS DON'T MIX. 🌲🔥

As we celebrate America's 250th Anniversary this Independence Day, let's remember that one spark can change everything.

Fireworks are a leading cause of preventable wildfires during the Fourth of July holiday. With dry vegetation across the Douglas District, even a single ember can ignite a fast-moving wildfire that threatens lives, homes, and our forests.

🎇 Celebrate responsibly.
✔ Follow all local fire restrictions.
✔ Attend a public fireworks display whenever possible.
✔ Leave fireworks to the professionals.
✔ Help us protect the places we all enjoy.

Let's Keep Oregon Green.
