Starting Wednesday, campfire bans will be enforced on BLM lands along the Crooked, Deschutes, John Day… and White Rivers, as well as near Lake Billy Chinook and Lake Simtustus.

All open flames, charcoal, and portable campfires are prohibited, while propane stoves remain permitted with caution.

On Thursday, the 14th, fire restrictions expand to all BLM-managed lands throughout Oregon and Washington.

Officials warn this season could bring record heat and dryness.
