FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, August 25, 2004 Regulated use closure suspended until further notice Wedding As o f noon on Aug. 23, the regulated use closure issued for the N ortheast O regon D istrict o f the O regon D epartm ent o f Forestry has been suspended due to the significant and unusual late August rainfall event. This includes private, state, county, municipal and tribal lands in portions of U nion, Baker, W allowa, Umatilla, Malheur, Grant and Morrow counties. With the suspension o f reg u lated use, the VanSchoiack restrictio n s on activ ities such as w oodcutting and campfires have been lifted. The cooler, wetter weather is a factor, but the trend may not have diminished the fire danger for the remainder o f the summer and fall. According to David K ing, A ssista n t U nit F o rester for O regon D epartm ent o f Forestry, Pendleton Unit, “The respite from the weather does not m ean we are out o f the woods yet. We will continue to monitor fire conditions and make adjustments as the weather dictates.” Human-caused fires are on the rise this year, so it is important to emphasize to the public the importance of campfire safety.
