The record high for September 23rd is 100 degrees, set in 1943 while the record for September 24th is 99 degrees, reached in 2024.

Beginning Thursday, highs will be in the low to mid-80s for several days.

FIRE DANGER LEVEL INCREASES TO HIGH

KQEN News Radio

Due to the forecast of increased, above-normal temperatures, decreased relative humidity and reduced overnight moisture recovery, the Douglas Forest Protective Association has increased the fire danger level to HIGH, effective Tuesday.

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said this applies to all private, county, state, and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District, imposing certain fire restrictions on the public to help prevent wildfires.

Pope said for the public this means non-industrial power saw usage, the cutting, grinding, or welding of metal, the cutting, trimming, or mowing of dried, cured grass, and power-driven machinery for non-industrial improvement or development on private property will only be allowed before 10:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m.

At this time, there is no change to the Industrial Fire Precaution Levels. They will remain at IFPL2, district wide.

CITY OF ROSEBURG TO BEGIN ISSUING BURN PERMITS

KQEN News Radio

The City of Roseburg Fire Department will begin issuing residential burn permits during the month of October:

A city release said these permits are issued for seven days at the cost of $75. Residential yard waste is the only material that may be burned. Prohibited items include standing berry vines, paper, wood, plastics, tires, standing grass, weeds, construction material and material from lot clearing. Burning may not be done on vacant lots or someone else’s property. Fires must be monitored by a competent adult and extinguished prior to darkness. Tools to control or extinguish the fire must be on site whenever there is material burning.

Burn barrels are never allowed inside the city limits and anyone burning trash or burning without a permit may be subject to a fine and/or legal action. In addition, due diligence must be exercised while burning even with a permit. Fire can get out of control, and the person responsible for the fire may be subject to fines, legal action or restitution.

The release said, if possible, residents are urged to utilize alternatives to burning, such as composting, chipping, mulching, or transporting debris to the county landfill.

COMMUNITY INVITED TO EXPERIENCE POVERTY SIMULATION IN ROSEBURG

KQEN News Radio

Urban Rural Action invites community members to experience a poverty simulation event in Roseburg.

It will take place on October 10th at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, beginning at 8:30 a.m.  Using the nationally recognized Missouri Community Action Network Poverty Simulation model, participants will assume the roles of families struggling to make ends meet. For one “month” compressed into a few hours, participants will navigate difficult choices around housing, employment, childcare, transportation, and unexpected expenses.

Umpqua Coordinator and URA participant Amy Taylor said, “Homelessness and poverty look different depending on who you are and where you live. This simulation is a powerful way to build empathy, understanding, and solutions across divides.”

After the simulation, participants will engage in a guided reflection and discussion about what they learned and how the community can respond.

Urban Rural Action is a national nonprofit that convenes politically diverse groups of Americans to build relationships across divides and collaborate on local community challenges. The Southern Oregon UR Action team has identified homelessness and housing insecurity as their area of focus, and the poverty simulation is part of their effort to foster dialogue and collective problem-solving.

Advance registration for the event can be made at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1629200766349?aff=oddtdtcreator
