The cool and misty weather conditions experienced earlier in the month have gone away, and have been replaced by dry, windy weather conditions. Fire danger conditions have increased across southwest Oregon. Lack of rain and continued sunny, windy weather has prompted Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) to increase the fire danger level to “HIGH” across Coos, Curry, and western Douglas County effective at 12:01 A.M. August 21, 2017. The “HIGH” fire danger level means increased public use restrictions on the public.
