Effective Monday, Industrial Fire Precaution Levels will change to Level 3 for all private, county, state, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and all Bureau of Land Management-managed lands with the Douglas District.

A release from the Douglas Forest Protective Association said this places certain fire restrictions on industrial operators to help prevent wildfires.

Under IFPL 3, the use of fire or power-driven machinery in any operation area is unlawful unless such use is in compliance with a number of rules.
