Fire Season officially ended on Oct. 7 in the Oregon Department of Forestry Sweet Home Unit.
The burn ban was lifted on Oct. 3.
“We’re still not allowing commercial slash burning,” Unit Forester Kevin Crowell said. “We just don’t have that weather condition yet.”
The area still has not seen its usual offshore, east wind weather yet, Crowell said, and dry days are still drying fuels out quickly.
