Recent fall-like weather and multiple days of widespread rain in the forecast have made it possible to ease off on some public fire prevention regulations on lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry Southwest Oregon District

Public Information Officer Natalie Weber said effective Saturday, the public fire danger level will decrease to low on ODF-protected lands in Jackson and Josephine counties. Weber said the Industrial Fire Precaution Level will remain at IFPL1.
