Extreme fire danger continues across Central Oregon, with Stage 2 public use restrictions still in place. Anyone heading into areas affected by recent fires is urged to plan ahead, monitor changing weather, and obey all posted signs. Forest Service spokesperson Kaitlyn Webb says reopened burn areas, including Akawa Butte, may look accessible, but hazards remain. She says people can return, “but if you are going to enter the burned area, you should definitely do so with caution.” Webb tells KBND News wind, rain, ice, and snow can loosen trees, rocks, and slopes, creating unstable and dangerous conditions.
