Due to increasing temperatures, lower relative humidity levels, and the continued drying of vegetation across the Douglas District, fire restrictions are increasing across lands protected by the Douglas Forest Protective Association and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management Roseburg District.

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said effective Saturday, Public Use Restrictions will increase to Moderate on all private, county, state and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District and BLM Roseburg District. In coordination with these restrictions, the BLM Roseburg District will implement Stage 2 Fire Prevention Restrictions on all BLM-administered public lands within the district.

In addition, effective Monday the Industrial Fire Precaution Levels will increase to IFPL Level 2 on all lands protected by DFPA, including lands managed by the BLM.

Under Moderate Public Use Restrictions, these activities are only permitted before 1:00 p.m. or after 8:00 p.m.:

*Non-industrial power saw use

*Cutting, grinding or welding of metal

*Cutting, trimming, or mowing dried or cured grass and

*Operation of power-driven machinery for non-industrial property improvement or development on private lands

Pope said the BLM’s Stage 2 Fire Prevention Order is intended to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires on public lands during periods of elevated fire danger. Restrictions include:

*No open fires, including charcoal briquettes, except at designated BLM campgrounds:

*Cavitt Creek Falls Campground

*Eagleview Group Campground

*Susan Creek Campground

*Tyee Campground

Gas-powered chain saws may only be operated before 10:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m.
