Recent fall-like weather and widespread rain has made it possible to ease off on some public and industrial fire prevention regulations on lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry Southwest Oregon District.

Effective Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. the public fire danger has decreased to low, and the industrial fire precaution level has been decreased to 1 on ODF protected lands in Jackson and Josephine counties.
