Annual campfire restrictions set to begin on BLM rivers in Central Oregon

Safe campfires are a special part of enjoying the great outdoors, but there can be limits, even bans in some locations.
PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) Annual campfire restrictions will go into effect June 1 on portions of the Deschutes, John Day, White and Crooked rivers, as well as on BLM-administered lands along Lake Billy Chinook.
Reducing the risk of wildfire helps BLM be a good neighbor in the river canyons, while facilitating commercial recreation and multiple-use opportunities, the agency said in a news release Thursday. The number one goal of the BLM is promoting employee and public safety, and the river canyons present a combination of limited access, grassy fuels that dry out quickly, and steep slopes that allow wildfires to spread rapidly.
