A campfire might sound enticing post-Labor Day but, fire restrictions remain in place in much of Central Oregon.

Vegetation remains dry in much of the region. And temperatures ar forecast to break back into the 100s this weekend, increasing the likelihood of new fire starts, according to a release from the Central Oregon Fire Management Service.

Much of the region’s public lands remain in “stage two” fire restrictions, which prohibit open fires. That includes in most developed campgrounds and wilderness areas on the Deschutes and Ochoco national forests, Crooked River National Grassland and Prineville District Bureau of Land Management. This includes using wood stoves and charcoal briquette grills.

Items that are allowed include liquid and pressurized gas stoves, lanterns and fire pits that have an on off switch. Bureau of Land Management designated campgrounds are the exception, which include portions along the Crooked, Deschutes, John Day and White rivers. This exception also applies to BLM lands along Lake Billy Chinook and Lake Simtustus.
