Seasonal campfire re- strictions will remain in place until Oct. 31, 2017; however these campfire restrictions do not apply to designated Wilderness ar- eas and specified exempted developed recreation sites (see forest website for ex- empted sites or areas). “The intent is to allow recreational users to enjoy campfires on their public lands in a responsible way, which means practicing safe campfire techniques that, in the long run, will protect lives, property, and our natural landscapes,” said Brian Ebert, Umatilla Deputy Fire Management Officer. Seasonal campfire re- strictions require visitors to build their campfire in a fire pit surrounded by dirt, rock, or commercial rings, in ar- eas cleared of all flammable material within a three-foot radius from the edge of the pit and free of overhanging material. Campfires must be attended at all times and a shovel and one gal- lon of water are required to be in your possession while building and tending campfires. These require- ments also apply to the use of charcoal briquettes. Additionally, porta- ble cooking stoves using liquefied or bottled gas and wood burning stoves equipped with a chimney that is at least five (5) feet in length with a spark- arresting screen consisting of ¼ inch mesh hardware cloth are allowed. Forest visitors are urged to use caution when building and tending camp- fires, cooking fires, and fires in wood stoves. Forest officials recommend the following campfire safety precautions: -Always abide by local campfire laws. -Only adults should build and maintain camp- fires. -Find a shady spot away from dry logs, overhanging branches, bushes, needles, or leaves. -Use existing fire-rings where it is safe to do so. Don’t build fire-rings in roads. -Keep campfire rings small and use wood no big- ger than the ring. -Keep tents and other burnable materials away from the fire. -Never leave a campfire unattended. Those leaving campfires unattended can be billed for the cost of fire suppression. -Drown the campfire with water and stir charred material. -When leaving, make sure your fire is DEAD OUT. Very carefully feel all sticks and charred remains. Make sure no roots are smoldering. If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave. Please check with your local Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) office for public use restrictions on lands protected by ODF. Visit the Blue Mountain Interagency Dispatch web- page at: www.bmidc.org or contact a local ODF office for more complete informa- tion. Similar restrictions may be in effect on State and private lands protected by the Washington Depart- ment of Natural Resources (WA-DNR). More informa- tion can be found on the WA-DNR website at: http:// www.dnr.wa.gov/. The public is respon- sible for knowing if re- strictions are in place and can obtain information by contacting the Umatilla National Forest.
