Due to recent precipitation and several days of cooler temperatures and higher humidity, the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest will be decreasing the fire danger from "extreme" to "high" early next week.
Starting Monday at 12:01 a.m., the fire danger level on the local forest will be "high" and the Industrial Fire Precaution Level will drop from "3" to "2."
Public use restrictions will remain at Stage 3 across the local forest and on the Wild & Scenic Section of the Rogue River. No wood- or charcoal briquette-fueled fires are allowed. Propane or liquid fuel may be used for campfires and only in designated campgrounds.
For more information on current restrictions and closures, visit the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest website at "bit.ly/RRSNFAlerts."
Forest officials thank you for your cooperation. Please continue to be fire-safe as we head toward warmer and drier weather conditions with the potential for east winds next week.
