BEND, OR -- The Oregon Department of Forestry has imposed additional fire restrictions for ODF-managed lands in Central Oregon. Warm temperatures are quickly drying fuels, increasing the risk of rapid fire growth.
The Regulated Closure takes effect Friday and prohibits smoking, unless in a vehicle on improved roads. Open fires are not allowed, including campfires and charcoal fires, except in designated areas. And, the use of fireworks and blasting is strictly prohibited. For a complete list of restricted activities, click HERE.
Restrictions apply to private and public lands protected by the Central Oregon District.
