state fire emergency. State offi-
cials extended the ban because
hot, dry conditions have con-
tinued and a high number of
wildfires are burning through-
out the state.
The modified ban is
expected to last at least one
week, but will be evaluated
based on weather, resource
conditions and input from
Oregon Department of For-
estry and state and local fire
officials.
The ban prohibits campfires
and open flames at noncoastal
day-use areas and camp-
grounds, and on the beach. It
applies to wood, charcoal and
other flame sources that cannot
be turned off with a valve.
Valve-operated
propane
fire pits are allowed in coastal
parks and on beaches only.
Clatsop County’s seasonally
adjusted unemployment rate
inched down further to 3.8 per-
cent in June, according to state
figures.
The rate was down 0.1 per-
cent from May’s unemployment
rate and lower than the state and
national unemployment rates of
4 percent. The county was tied
for the eighth-lowest unem-
ployment rate in the state with
Wasco County.
Clatsop County added 760
jobs in June, 180 more than
expected. Leisure and hospi-
tality bloomed by 260 posi-
tions, while retail trade added
230, food and manufacturing
100 and professional services
another 60.
Over the past year, the
county has gained 520 jobs, an
increase of 2.7 percent. Leisure
and hospitality gained 200 jobs
over the past year, construction
120 and retail trade 110.
Tillamook County recorded
a 4.2 percent unemployment
rate in June, and Columbia
County 4.9 percent.
