The City of Drain would like to share important wildfire prevention information from the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) regarding the 2026 Public Use Restrictions now in effect throughout protected lands in Douglas County.

As fire season approaches and vegetation conditions continue to dry, community preparedness and wildfire prevention become increasingly important. Public Use Restrictions are designed to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires and help protect lives, property, natural resources, and responding firefighters.

Important Restriction Information
The current DFPA Public Use Restrictions include regulations regarding:

Debris burning
Campfires and open fires
Fireworks and exploding targets
Smoking while traveling
Motor vehicle use on forestlands
Power saw operation
Welding, grinding, and metal cutting
Mowing and power-driven machinery use
Restrictions vary depending on the current fire danger level, which may be classified as Low, Moderate, High, or Extreme. Certain activities may be prohibited entirely or restricted to specific hours of the day.

Community members are encouraged to carefully review the attached DFPA Public Use Restriction charts for detailed information regarding activities permitted during each fire danger level.

Before You Burn
Prior to conducting any debris burning, residents are encouraged to utilize the Before You Burn website and mobile app.

This resource helps residents determine:

Whether burning is currently allowed
Which agency regulates burning within their area
Who must be contacted before burning
Current burn bans and seasonal restrictions
The Before You Burn platform is one of the easiest ways for residents to stay informed and compliant with local burning regulations.

Wildfire Preparedness Reminders
Lookingglass Rural Fire District encourages all residents to begin preparing now for wildfire season by:

Creating and maintaining defensible space around homes and structures
Preparing emergency evacuation plans
Packing and maintaining emergency go-bags
Staying informed on current fire danger levels and restrictions
Checking restrictions before traveling or recreating in forested areas
Wildfire prevention is a shared responsibility. Through preparation, awareness, and compliance with fire season regulations, we can work together to help protect the Lookingglass community and surrounding areas.

For additional information regarding Public Use Restrictions and fire danger levels, please visit the DFPA website or contact DFPA directly.

🎉 Celebrating 40 Years of Partnership 💧

The City of Drain is proud to celebrate 40 years of membership with the Oregon Association of Water Utilities (OAWU)!

For four decades, this partnership has helped ensure that our community continues to receive safe, reliable, and high-quality drinking water services. Through OAWU, the City gains access to specialized training, technical support, and emergency resources that help us meet complex regulations and maintain our system efficiently.

For Drain, this membership means we can tap into statewide expertise—helping us: protect public health, maintain reliable water and wastewater services, plan responsibly for the future and keep costs as stable as possible for our community.

Behind every glass of clean water is a network of professionals working together to keep our systems running—and we’re grateful to be part of that network.

Here’s 40 years of partnership—and many more to come! 👏💧
