Landscape Maintenance: Jackson County’s 2025 Fire Restrictions

For landscape maintenance professionals in Jackson County, the arrival of dry, warm weather isn’t just a sign of lush growth; it’s a critical reminder of heightened wildfire risk. The 2025 Fire Season has officially begun, and understanding the specific regulations and best practices is paramount to ensuring safety for your crews, your clients’ properties, and our beautiful Southern Oregon environment.

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) has declared the 2025 Fire Season for Jackson County, with restrictions officially starting on June 1st, 2025. While the end date is typically in October, it will depend entirely on real-time weather and fuel moisture conditions. Current forecasts for Oregon and Washington indicate another potentially challenging wildfire season, with warmer than normal temperatures and unusually dry conditions anticipated. This necessitates an elevated level of vigilance and adherence to all fire prevention measures.

3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector Review

Listening to a little bit of music while doing yard work can be a very suiting experience, that is until you start using your mower. Regular earphones lack the necessary components that block out the noise from your power equipment. Wearing your headphones under your hearing protector is one solution, however, the quality of music and effectiveness of your PPE decreases.

Having a cordless earphone that also doubled as hearing protection is the only real solution to this predicament. This was why I decided to spend the extra cash and go with the 3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector. It combines the best of both worlds at a very reasonable price.
