About this file
This document is an Emergency Fire Precaution Schedule for timber sale operations on the Lincoln National Forest, Sacramento Ranger District, establishing operational restrictions based on fire risk conditions.
The schedule defines four restriction levels—No Restrictions (Stage A), Stage I (Stage B), Stage II (Stage C), and Partial/Forest Closure (Stage D)—each corresponding to an Industrial Fire Precaution Plan with specific operational requirements. Stage A permits normal fire precautions. Stage B requires written permits for designated smoking and fire areas. Stage C prohibits all smoking and open fires while implementing progressive equipment shutdowns: power saws (except chainsaws for limbing on cleared mineral soil) shut down 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM; mechanical fellers without hydraulic shears shut down during the same window; machine treatment of slash and related equipment shut down 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM; welding and metal cutting shut down 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM; chainsaws for limbing shut down 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM; loading operations shut down 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM; and log hauling trucks must reach surfaced roads by 3:00 PM. Operations may resume at 9:00 PM. Stage D requires complete operational shutdown except for specific mineral soil activities (log truck loading, road excavation, watering, grading, surfacing, and rock crushing) which may continue with special Forest Service permit. Red Flag Warnings issued by the National Weather Service trigger Stage D restrictions. Under partial forest closure conditions, areas outside closure boundaries may operate under Stage C criteria with written agreement between the Contracting Officer and Purchaser, while areas within closure boundaries must operate under Stage D.
