Public use restrictions have changed to low as of Wednesday, September 2.

DFPA NEWS RELEASE: Decrease to Industrial Regulations

Douglas District, Ore.: Due to recent precipitation, increased fuel moisture and relative humidity across lands protected by the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA), the Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL) will decrease to Level 1, effective today, September 3, 2026, at 12:01 p.m. (noon).

This change applies to all lands protected by DFPA within regulated use areas DG 1, DG 2, UA 1 and UA 2, as well as all forestland within one eighth mile of those areas, including lands managed by the Roseburg District Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

What Does IFPL 1 Mean for Industry?

Under Industrial Fire Precaution Level 1, the use of fire or power-driven machinery in any operation area is unlawful unless conducted in compliance with:

All applicable fire prevention requirements of ORS Chapter 477 and OAR Chapter 629, Divisions 41 through 43.

Public Use Restrictions

The Public Use Restrictions for lands protected by DFPA will remain at LOW. There is no change to the current Public Use Restrictions.

Debris burning, including debris piles and burn barrels, remains PROHIBITED at all times.

The recent reduction in Industrial and Public restrictions reflects current conditions across the district while continuing to require appropriate fire prevention measures for industrial and public operations. If conditions become more hazardous, restrictions may increase. Fire season remains in effect, so Know Before You Go and follow restrictions that are in place.

Public use restrictions are changing to high.

DFPA NEWS RELEASE: The Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) has responded to multiple Public Use Restriction violations in the past week, including prohibited debris burning.

This is a reminder to the public that violations will result in citations and fines. If an unauthorized fire escapes, causes damage or requires firefighting resources, you may be responsible for damages and suppression costs.

A VIOLATION WILL FOLLOW YOU FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS.

All violations are tracked statewide.

FIRE DANGER LEVEL CHANGE

Due to decreased temperatures and improved overnight moisture recovery, the fire danger level and public use restrictions will decrease to HIGH, effective 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, for all private, county, state, and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District.

What does this change mean to the public?

With the fire danger level changing to HIGH, certain activities that were previously prohibited will now be allowed during specific hours.

Non-industrial power saw usage, the cutting, grinding, or welding of metal, the cutting, trimming, or mowing of dried, cured grass, and power-driven machinery for non-industrial improvement or development on private property will now be allowed BEFORE 10 AM or AFTER 8 PM.

There is no change to the Industrial Fire Precaution Level (IFPL). IFPL will remain at LEVEL 3 district wide.

📣 Public use restrictions change to high Saturday, July 11, at 12:01 AM 📣

DFPA NEWS RELEASE: Due to the forecast of increased, above-normal temperatures, decreased relative humidity, and reduced overnight moisture recovery, the fire danger level will rise to HIGH. Effective Saturday, July 11, at 12:01 a.m., Public Use Restrictions (PURs) will increase to HIGH for all private, county, state, and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District, imposing certain fire restrictions on the public to help prevent wildfires.
What does this change mean to the public?

Non-industrial power saw usage, the cutting, grinding, or welding of metal, the cutting, trimming, or mowing of dried, cured grass, and power-driven machinery for non-industrial improvement or development on private property will only be allowed BEFORE 10 AM or AFTER 8 PM.

At this time, there will be no change to the Industrial Fire Precaution Levels. They will remain at IFPL2, districtwide.

Fire season is here, and everyone has a role in preventing wildfires. Remember, debris burning is prohibited. Campfires are only allowed at designated sites, and fireworks, exploding targets, tracer am******on, and sky lanterns are prohibited. Smoke only in enclosed vehicles on improved roads, boats on the water, or other designated locations. Keep vehicles on improved roads, carry the required firefighting tools, and use charcoal or pellet barbecues only at maintained residential home sites with water or a fire extinguisher nearby.

One spark can change everything. Follow fire season restrictions, use caution with outdoor activities, and help reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires. Keep Oregon Green.
