2A | AUGUST 12, 2021 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Umpqua National Forest moves to Industrial Fire Precaution Level Four The Umpqua National Forest increased Industri- al Fire Precaution Levels (IFPL) to Level 4, which went into effect at 00:01 a.m. on August 10, 2021, and will continue until De- cember 31, 2021. These restrictions follow active management tech- niques based on scientific factors, weather condi- tions and preparedness levels. The sustained dry and very hot weather condi- tions combined with the current fire activity as well as limited initial attack resources are driving the need to increase precau- tion to an IFPL 4 on the Umpqua National Forest. Industrial Fire Precau- tion levels are stages of restrictions that apply to work activities, including personal firewood cutting, on Forest Service or Bu- reau of Land Management lands to reduce the risk of a wildfire igniting. There are four Industri- al Precaution levels that begin at Level One at the start of the closed season and can go to Level Four, the current level. Each IFPL level adds to the restrictions applicable to all lower levels. At Level Four, ‘All commercial op- erations on national forest lands are prohibited.’ · Few if any waivers will be issued  · Recreation activities on the forest continue but are subject to personal use re- strictions Fire danger remains extreme on all ranger dis- tricts across the forest. Similarly, the Public Use Restrictions (PUR) is cur- rently set at Level 3.
