Conditions require
extra fire caution
By Suzy Macy
Fire Technician
Hunting season is here, and
Warm Springs Fire Manage
ment would like to remind hunt
ers and outdoor enthusiasts that
the fire danger is still very high.
The combination of dry
weather and high temperatures
this summer have created a tin
derbox situation in our forests
and wildlands, a situation that
will not change in the near fu
ture, not until there is more rain
fall. If you are planning to spend
some time outside hunting, fish
ing or camping, please be aware
of fire restrictions before you
leave.
At the present time there is
no open burning, and some ar
eas are closed to public access.
Fires start easily and spread
very rapidly in these dry condi
tions. Hunters are often times in
areas that are remote. A fire
started in a remote area may not
be detected until the fire is large
and difficult to control.
These types of fires arc dev
astating and may destroy pre
cious wildlife and our natural
resources, as well as endanger
the lives of firefighters and
other people in the area.
Here are some tips to avoid
a wildland fire from happening:
Drive only on improved
roads. Vehicles driven across dry
grass may start a fire from a hot
muffler or other high-heat com
ponents under the vehicle.
Use extreme caution when
smoking and only smoke in an
enclosed vehicle. Never throw

Smith said he is thinking
about going into the military
when he graduates. The things
he likes about high school, he
said, are being around the other
students, and keeping busy with
school work.
August Scott has played foot-
matches, cigarettes, cigars or any
other burning material from
your vehicle. Please use your
ashtray. Never smoke while
traveling through wildland areas,
whether on foot, horseback or
on an ATV.
If permitted start campfires
only in designated areas. Make
sure campfires are dead out
before going to bed or leaving
camp. Keep a shovel and a 5
gallon supply of water close to
the campfire area. Charcoal bri
quettes should be immersed in
water until they are cold to the
touch.
Please check the fire precau
tion level before starting a camp
fire, even in a designated area.
If the level is at a 4, which is
the case now, then there is a ban
on any and all burning.
Please use areas where poten
tially flammable materials are
absent for target practice. Wild
land fires have been started by
target practice, sparks can fly
from a bullet striking a metal can
or rock and igniting dry grass
or leaves.
If you should see a fire, note
its location, get to a phone and
call 9-1-1. Warm Springs Fire
Management is aggressive in its
attack on wildland fires, and the
sooner they can reach a fire and
attack it, the chances of the fire
turning into a large wildland
event are decreased.
Please enjoy your time in the
woods, and remember to be
safe not sorry. If you have any
questions or concerns please
contact Fire Management at
553-1146.

Joel Santos shows off the branch-antlered mute deer he
bagged while hunting with his cousin Gibson the first Sunday
of open season.
Santos was using a .243 and estimates the shot covered
350 yards. He brought the deer's head to Natural Resources,
where a brain tissue sample was taken to test for chronic
wasting disease.
The disease has not been confirmed in Oregon, but it has
been detected in other Western states.
