Fire season remains
in effect for the Central Oregon District.
Cool temperatures and typical fall weather have reduced fire danger in
wildland fuels and the potential for large fire growth is diminished. However wind quickly dries fuels even
following rain and changing weather and fuel conditions can result in
unexpected fire spread. Please use
caution and respect fire season restrictions.
Open burning, including yard debris is prohibited during fire season. Fuel and weather conditions will continue to
be monitored.
