From: LARSON Jennifer Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 3:34 PM To: Subject: FW: NWO will go into Fire Season 7/13/05
The Oregon Department of Forestry has declared that Fire Season will start at 00:01 A.M. on Wednesday, July 13, 2005. This will affect all lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry in the Northwest Oregon region. This includes all State, private and BLM forest land in the Tillamook, Astoria, and Forest Grove Districts.
With Fire Season in effect, forest operators must have required fire equipment at the site of their operation, and provide a fire watch at the end of operations each day. NW-1, NW-2, NW-3 IFPL level changes may be obtained by calling 503-842-2548.
For the general public, burning permits are required for open burning and burn barrels. For those that live within a Rural Fire District, they need to contact their Rural Fire Department or the Oregon Department of Forestry, for burn permit requirements. In the remainder of Tillamook County, the Department of Forestry will issue burning permits for open burning and burn barrels. There is no fee for the permit, but an on-site inspection is often done prior to issuing a permit. Information about burning permits is available by calling the Oregon Department of Forestry at 842-2545, or contact your local fire department.
