Restrictions lifted for
Umatilla National Forest
Effective 12:01 am on
Sept. 20, 2017, the Uma-
tilla National Forest lifted
all public use restrictions
pertaining to recreational
chainsaw use, smoking, and
off-road travel.
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.
