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.
