The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) wants to remind Oregonians that even with the weather starting to transition to fall, fire is still on the landscape and fire regulations are still in effect. “With the temperature changes, it’s easy to think that fires are lessening or that fire season is over. Thus far in the season, there have been 1,091 fires on ODF-protected lands – 671 of which have been human-caused. Wildfire prevention means:Debris burning remains the number one cause of human-caused fires in Oregon and is prohibited during fire season. A dry, covered pile is cleaner and safer to burn in the late fall and winter.
