Umpqua National Forest Moves to Extreme Fire Danger

(US Forest Service) As of this morning, the Umpqua National Forest has moved into EXREME Fire Danger. With these hot, dry conditions and an increase in visitors for the long weekend, campfire safety is critical. Campfires are only allowed in designated rings, found at developed campgrounds only. Never leave campfires unattended and make sure your fire is dead out when you do leave. To make sure your fire is out, drown it, stir it, and feel it before leaving. Your fire should be cool enough to touch. Make sure to #RecreateResponsibly this weekend.
