I hese five fires combined to bum approximately 144,000 acres; evacuation of homes was neces sary and homes were lost. This year, there is a much bigger grass crop than any of the previous years, allowing fires to spread faster and making them more dif ficult to control. What does this mean to you? The fire danger right now is ex treme and people must be abso lutely careful with fire. State pro tected lands within Central Or egon are currently m a regulated use closure. Regulations include: no fireworks, no smoking in the woods, keep campfire in desig nated areas only and carry firefighting equipment such as a bucket, shovel, ax and fire extin guisher off developed state and county roads. These public use restrictions are designed to help prevent fire starts. Check with local fire agencies for debris burn ing regulations. “Before you got in the woods or do anything with fire, please be responsible and remember to call your local fire agency for current fire restrictions.” said the release.
