With Summer temperatures rising creating a high fire danger in our forests, the Forest Grove district entered an Industrial Fire Precaution Level of 2 at 0100 this morning.
For forest workers, this means a Limited Shutdown. The following may operate only between 8pm and 1pm:
- Power saws, except at loading sites
- Feller-bunchers with rotary head saws
- Cable yarding
- Blasting
- Welding, cutting, or grinding of metal
For all other visitors to our forests, Regulated Use remains in effect.
