2A | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2019 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Area fire service agencies respond to multiple lightning fires As of last Sunday morning, resources had responded to 10 fires across the Umpqua Na- tional Forest. Locations of the starts included: Four in the Diamond Lake Rang- er District, four in the Tiller Ranger District and one on the Cottage Grove Ranger District, which was an abandoned campfire. The largest fire was estimated at 2/10 of an acre. With cooler tempera- tures and additional pre- cipitation, fire activity remained minimal but initial attack resources continue to respond to any new smoke reports. Fire managers had scheduled a fixed-wing aircraft reconnaissance flight over forest lands later Monday afternoon. This next week, a clear- ing and drying trend is forecasted. In spite of rainfall that was received with Friday and Saturday’s thunder- storms, public-use re- strictions will remain in place. On average, hu- man-caused wildfires make up 87 percent of all wildfires annually. The use of fire re- strictions helps to min- imize the number of human-caused fires fire- fighters respond to. It is imperative to maintain awareness of fire danger levels and current fire restrictions to help keep communities safe, par- ticularly those in rural locations. Remember: Even if a campfire is in a campfire ring, it must be com- pletely extinguished be- fore leaving the camping area.
