The Oregon Department of Forestry has increased the fire danger to “high” as east winds and warmer weather are anticipated to affect the Northwest corner of the state.

The higher fire danger level will affect recreationists.

All off-highway vehicle trails in the Nicolai Mountain OHV Riding Area will close at 1 p.m. daily and campfires and barbecues are prohibited in the Nicolai Mountain campsites.

Burn barrels and residential campfires are also prohibited.

At Henry Rierson Spruce Run Campground, Gnat Creek Campground, Northrup Creek Horse Campground and Beaver Eddy sites in Clatsop County, campfires are allowed in designated metal fire pits.
