Fire Season ends on private
lands protected by ODF
A fte r a to u g h fire
season w elcom ed m oisture
brought fire season to an end
on N ov. 3. T h is in clu d e s
private lands protected by the
O r e g o n D e p a r tm e n t o f
Forestry in Crook, Deschutes,
Je ffe rso n , G illiam , G rant,
Harney, Morrow, Umatilla and
W heeler counties.
What this means to the
private land ow ner: U nless
you are in a rural or, city fire
departm ent protection area,
bum perm its for bum barrels
and small am ounts o f yard
debris are not required. If you
a re in r u ra l o r c ity fire
departm ent p rotection call
your local fire department for
a n y b u rn in g re s tric tio n s .
Burning o f slash from logging,
thinning or juniper cutting, as
well as juniper, sage and grass
b u rn in g is still restric te d .

Despite moisture and
c o o le r te m p e ra tu re s , fire
m anagers are still concerned
about one traditional fall and
winter activity- the burning o f
slash piles.
Two o f this sum m er’s
fires were escaped “holdover”
slash bum s from last winter.
“We continue to be plagued by
escapes from piles that w ere
burned m onths before and
appear out. The fire takes o ff
in the spring or summer when
fuels dry out,” stated Gordon
F o s te r , J o h n D a y U n it
Forester. “ D riving by and
lo o k in g for sm o k e is not
enough,” Foster emphasized.
“ E v e ry p ile n e e d s to be
checked closely to ensure that
no h e a t r e m a in s .” T h e
problem is m ade w orse by
years o f cum ulative drought
and abrupt changes from dry
conditions to winter without fall
rains. Piles tend to bum deep
and hold fire. Soils and heavy
fuels do not recover adequate
moisture.
P e rso n s w h o b u rn
slash can take simple steps to
prevent escapes. The first is to
obtain the required perm it
from the Oregon Departm ent
o f Forestry. “The permit gives
us the opportunity to discuss
and d o c u m e n t p rev e n tio n
m easures,” Foster explained.
“The other key is to ensure all
piles are completely out.”

Last year, the seventh

They had been reading

the idea to help the two families

deep into their pockets giving
m oney they had earned by
babysitting, m ow ing lawns,
doing yard work, and even
gave money from their savings.
(A few students gave $20-
$ 3 5 .) T hey also c o llected
a b o u t $35 w orth o f cans.
Som e parishioners heard o f
their efforts and also m ade
donations.
The Parish Finance
Committee got into the project
and o ffe re d to m atch the
money the group made, up to
a maximum o f $400. The total
amount from the students will
be over $225. With the match

The group plans to
