While Public Use Restrictions remain High for residents in the local district, the Douglas Forest Protective Association will increase the Industrial Fire Precaution Level to 3, effective on Monday.

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said the change applies to all private county, state and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District. Pope said the Roseburg District Bureau of Land Management is included in the fire season declaration, which imposes certain fire restrictions on industrial operators to help prevent wildfires and has specific Fire Prevention Orders or other restrictions on the BLM-administered lands.

A number of activities are now restricted for industrial operators and may only take place between 8:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. Complete information on the changes is posted at www.dfpa.net
