Industrial Fire Precaution Level 3 goes into effect on Wednesday in the Douglas Forest Protective Association’s Douglas District.

A DFPA release said the designation requires logging, road building and other industrial operations that utilize power driven machinery in forests and wildland areas to shut down most equipment between 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The release said the increase in industrial fire restrictions are necessary to prevent wildfires as fire danger continues to increase.
