INDUSTRIAL FIRE RESTRICTIONS INCREASE

Increased fire danger on forestlands has prompted Coos Forest Protective Association to increase the fire prevention measures on industrial operations.  Industrial Fire Precaution Level II (two) takes effect Monday, August 2, on all lands protected by CFPA within regulated use zones CS-2, CS-5, SK-1 and SK-2.  Industrial operators can check their operating permit to determine the zone that they are working in.

IFPL II, or “partial hootowl”, prohibits blasting, welding and cable yarding from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  The use of power saws is also prohibited between these hours, except at loading sites.  A firewatch of three hours is also required.
