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.

Under low fire danger, public fire restrictions in effect include:

  • No debris burning, including piles and debris burned in burn barrels.
  • No fireworks on or within 1/8 of a mile of forestland.
  • Exploding targets and tracer ammunition, or any bullet with a pyrotechnic charge in its base, are prohibited.
  • Campfires are allowed in designated campgrounds, and on private land with the landowner’s permission. Portable stoves using liquefied or bottled fuels may be used as well.
  • Motorized vehicles are allowed only on improved roads; one shovel and one gallon of water, or one 2.5 pound or larger fire extinguisher, is required while traveling.
  • Smoking while traveling will only be allowed in enclosed vehicles on improved roads, in boats on the water and other specifically designated locations.
  • Any electric fence controllers must be approved by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories Inc., or be certified by the Department of Consumer and Business Services, and be installed and used in compliance with the fence controller’s instructions for fire safe operation.

Under IFPL I (One) – Fire season requirements are in effect. In addition to other fire prevention measures, a Firewatch is required at this and all higher levels unless otherwise waived.

Fire Season is almost here! Help us keep the community safe!

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

Rain in the forecast has delayed the dust abatement procedure as it must be put down on dry roads.  The County has given us an estimate of beginning of June.

The County Road Department will set up signs alerting you to this fact as well as dates and times of the application.  The website will also be updated as we learn more.

The following is a list of roads that will receive dust abatement applications.
