Oregon Parks and R ecrea t i o n D e p a r t m e n t (OPRD) is prohibiting all campfires and open flames in all state park properties effective last Thursday, July 19, 2018. The ban came in response to Governor Brown’s declaration of a fire emergency. The campfire and open flame ban includes camp- grounds, day-use areas, and all areas of the Ocean Shore and beaches managed by OPRD. The fire ban applies to wood, charcoal, and other flame sources that cannot be turned off with a valve. Liquid fuel stoves or cook- ing devices that can be turned off with a valve are permitted, but cannot be left unattended. MG Devereux, OPRD deputy director, says the ban is meant to avoid any accidental fires on OPRD property that would fur- ther tax limited firefighting resources.
