Fire clanger from rapidly
drying conditions in north
west forests have caused
Oregon
Department
of
Forestry officials to impose
further public restrictions to
those already in effect. The
additional restrictions prohib
it the non-industrial use of
chainsaws and ban all camp
fires. Fire officials are urging
persons using forested areas
to avoid any activities that
could cause a wildfire. Ac
cording to Dan Logan, Pro
tection Supervisor at ODF
Columbia City, the woods are
drying rapidly and the poten
tial for a large fire exists.
“With our recent hot weather,
forest areas are getting very
dry. It’s time for us to tighten
restrictions to prevent recre
ation-related fires.”
Fire officials emphasize
that before people go into the
woods, they must be pre
pared to take special precau
