FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 27, 2018
COOS COUNTY FOREST FIRE DANGER
The Coos County Board of Commissioners wants to remind everyone that it is fire season, and it is necessary to take appropriate precautions to avoid causing a fire when you are on the Coos County forest. Even though the coast is cooler than the inland valleys, winds and low humidity have increased our risk of fire.
With no rain in the immediate forecast, Coos County Commissioner John Sweet wants to remind people that we have already had two human-caused fires on the Coos County forest this year, and it is still relatively early in the fire season. "The forest is dry this year, and we don't want to close it to recreation. However, if people aren't careful and we have a fire, I don't think we will have a choice." The Coos County forest is a significant contributor to the County budget, and the income received from timber harvests provides public services such as Sheriff's deputies and jail beds.
Appropriate precautions include not smoking outside of vehicles, no campfires, and carrying a fire extinguisher and tools.
For questions, please contact Commissioner John Sweet at [email protected] or 541-396-7541.
