ODF e ins re season
in northeast Oregon
La Grande, OR - While
some areas in northeast
Oregon remain green, re
activity in the region has
started to increase. As a
result, the Oregon Depart-
ment of Forestry (ODF)
has declared the start of re
season for the Northeast
Oregon District.
“Continued dry condi-
tions and increasing tem-
peratures are expected in
the coming weeks. These
conditions, combined with
rising re danger, have led
us to declare re season,
said Justin Lauer, District
Forester.
The re season began
Thursday, June 5, for the
forests and rangelands pro-
tected by the ODF North-
east Oregon District.
“With the forecasted
weather conditions our ne
fuels will continue to cure
out making it more likely
for res to spread quick-
ly. Declaring fire season
allows us to help prevent
human-caused res, which
can be a signi cant issue
throughout the summer,”
Lauer explained.
The declaration of re
season places re preven-
tion restrictions on land-
owners and the public.
Additionally, re pre-
vention regulations on in-
dustrial logging and forest
management activities are
put into place.
Lands a ected include
private, state, county, mu-
nicipal, and tribal lands in
Union, Baker, Wallowa,
and Umatilla counties
along with small portions
of Malheur, Morrow, and
Grant counties within the
Northeast Oregon Forest
Protection District.
This area encompasses
approximately two million
acres of protected lands.
ODF encourages land-
owners and the public to
help prevent accidental
ignitions by taking extra
precautions while recreat-
ing or working, it can make
a di erence.

strictions across the North-
east Oregon District, dial:

tions.more information.
