We were camping on the central Oregon coast the weekend before Labor day. The open flame ban started then. Propane grills and stoves were okay at that time, but not propane fire pits. Based on how dry the vegetation is I am not surprised by the grill ban also. The entire west coast is at a high risk for fires at the moment.
Well today they lifted the ban on outdoor stoves and BBQ's, but only cooking devices.
I will say we are currently in a beautiful, small SP in the Columbia Gorge. It is tender dry here and the wind is always blowing. This evening we as getting heavy smoke from the fires around Portland and Salem. We are hoping it clears by Monday. We had many cancellations today due to the smoke.
Today Portland, and Seattle were at the top of the large cities with the worst air quality.
