About this file
The document is an Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPL) factsheet developed by the Central Oregon Fire Management Service in collaboration with the United States Forest Service, covering wildfire risk reduction systems for public lands in the Pacific Northwest from April 1 to October 31. The factsheet details four fire precaution levels (Closed Season, Partial Hootowl, Partial Shutdown, and General Shutdown) that regulate spark-emitting devices and industrial forest/rangeland activities, specifically addressing restrictions on cable yarding, power saws, welding, and metal cutting during high fire risk periods.
The document emphasizes fire safety protocols, requiring fire equipment and fire watch services during certain precaution levels, with specific time-based operational restrictions between 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. Additionally, the factsheet outlines public use restrictions aimed at reducing human-caused fires, which can include limitations on activities such as campfires, shooting, smoking, and ATV use, with potential for road or area closures in extreme fire danger scenarios. A 24-hour fire precaution information hotline (1-800-523-4737) is provided for additional guidance, and the document includes a QR code for accessing more detailed information about Industrial Fire Precaution Levels.

Text version
The Pacific Northwest uses two systems to reduce wildfire risk on public lands. From April 1 to October 31, one system applies to woods workers and other industrial forest/rangeland users. The IFPL system regulates spark-emitting devices on timber sales, service contracts and special use permits.
The following are PROHIBITED except as indicated:
• Cable yarding – except that gravity operated logging systems employing nonmotorized carriages or approved motorized carriages may operate between 8 p.m. and 1 p.m.
when all block and moving lines, except for the line between the carriage and the chokers, are suspended ten feet above the ground;
• Power saws – except power saws may be used at loading sites and on tractor/skidder operations between the hours of 8 p.m.
and 1 p.m. local time.
Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPLs)
Fire equipment and fire watch service is required. The fire watch is required to stay in the area for one hour after power equipment has been shut off to watch for fire starts.
The following may operate only between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. (no operation between 1 pm and 8 p.m.):
• Power saws except at loading sites
• Cable yarding
• Welding or cutting metal
ALL OPERATIONS
ARE PROHIBITED.
Fire Restrictions (Public Use Restrictions)
These restrictions, enacted for public health and safety, are aimed at the general public, recreationists and forest/rangeland visitors. These restrictions limit activities in order to reduce human-caused fires, especially in more hazardous areas. Activities limited can include campfires, shooting, smoking, atv use, and others. In extreme cases, road or area closures may occur.
