Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) responded to three fires over the Independence Day weekend. All of these fires were human-caused and are under investigation but the most likely cause of two was fireworks. The other was equipment use related. All the fires were stopped at under an acre each thanks to aggressive initial attack by responding resources. These fires are a reminder that conditions are drying out quickly and people need to follow fire prevention requirements. We are just at the beginning of fire season and conditions are only going to get hotter and drier from here. For more information on fire restrictions and prevention, you can find CFPA on the web at www.coosfpa.net, call the closure line at (541) 267-1789, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
