Effective Tuesday, the Douglas Forest Protective Association has decreased the Industrial Fire Precaution Levels to IFPL Level 2 on all lands protected by DFPA, which includes lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said Public Use Restrictions have decreased to Moderate for all private, county, state and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District, which imposes certain fire restrictions on the public to help prevent wildfires.

For the public, non-industrial power saw usage, cutting, grinding, or welding of metal, cutting, trimming, or mowing of dried, cured grass, power-driven machinery for non-industrial improvement or development on private property is only allowed before 1:00 p.m. or after 8:00 p.m.
