CORVALLIS, Ore. – Sept. 29, 2025 — Due to recent rainfall and cooler temperatures, the Siuslaw National Forest will rescind public use restrictions on Sept. 29, 2025. 

Campfires will once again be allowed outside of developed campgrounds and restrictions on chainsaws, off-highway vehicles, and smoking will be lifted. However, even with the reduced fire risk, it is still important to never leave a campfire unattended and completely extinguish it so it is cold to the touch. 

The cancellation of public use restrictions, also known as fire restrictions, applies to all lands within the Siuslaw National Forest, including wilderness and special recreation areas.

The Siuslaw National Forest is currently at “low” fire danger. Please visit Oregon Department of Forestry’s website for IFPL information on the Oregon coast and surrounding areas.

Additional fire information is available on the Siuslaw National Forest website at  https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/siuslaw/fire. Follow us on Facebook and X @SiuslawNF for the latest updates.

To report a wildfire, please call 9-1-1.
