Jackson, Josephine County fire danger drops to ‘Low’
CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — Oregon Department of Forestry’s Southwest District announced fire danger decreased to low Monday morning across Jackson and Josephine Counties.
Here is the release to the public:
The recent rain and cooler temperatures have made it possible to decrease fire restrictions across Southwest Oregon, affecting both public and industrial use. The public fire danger level on lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry in Jackson and Josephine counties will lower to “low” (green), and the industrial fire precaution level (IFPL) will lower to I (one), effective as of 8:00 a.m. on Monday, September 16, 2019.
The City of Shady Cove needs your help to keep the risk of wildland fire down this summer.
Please assist us by following the Weed Abatement procedure within the City limits.
City Staff will be out assessing properties immediately after the May 15 deadline.
“The owner, agent of owner and/or occupant of any lot or parcel within the limits of the City of Shady Cove shall cut and remove the weeds, grass, bushes and shrubbery growing thereon, or on the adjacent and abutting streets between May 15th through September 30th of each year…”
“It is expected that property owner/occupant will comply voluntarily; however, should the owner/occupant fail or neglect to cut weeds, grass, or shrubbery as herein provided, the City shall serve a Weed Abatement Notice requiring that the property be abated within 14 days of notice.”
“Failure to comply to the Weed Abatement Notice may result in the following actions:
- $500 fine for each day of violation
- Lien against said property for cost of abatement”
Please also note if your property is on Highway 62, ODOT has a certain amount of Right-of-Way and it may not go all the way to your fence. There are numerous properties we have noted with high weeds against a fence that are not in ODOT’s Right-of-Way. Better safe than sorry.
A big round of applause for Fire District 4 for showing us what a nice looking, safe piece of property should look like!
It’s better looking, it’s safer, and…
It’s the Law
