Abandoned Camp Fires Major Cause Of Early Summer Wildfires

CENTRAL OREGON -- Fire Season is in full swing. Lisa Clark at Prineville BLM says they have responded to about 100 fires; all were human-caused and 70% of those were abandoned fires. Clark asks that the public use caution when outdoors for your own safety and for the safety of first responders. Emergency personnel are maintaining health standards when responding to fires by limiting the number of people in emergency vehicles. Clark also warns the public to not smoke or park on or near dry grass, as this is a potential fire hazard. For more info, check out Project Wildfire online.
