SALEM — The Office of the State Fire Marshal’s temporary rule change allowing Oregon gas retailers to provide self-service on a voluntary basis ends at midnight on May 23.
Starting May 24, attendants will again be providing service at gas stations in Oregon where self-service is not allowed. Self-service is allowed in some coastal counties and in Eastern and Central Oregon.
The temporary rule change was implemented to address worker shortages at stations statewide because of COVID-19.
“We want to thank Oregonians and the many Oregon businesses who provide gasoline for their patience as we allowed for voluntary self-service at Oregon gas stations where that service had not been available before,” said State Fire Marshal Jim Walker.
