Sixty-seven Oregon Dept. of Forestry (ODF) personnel are currently fighting fires in other states. These include:
- 62 in Alaska (includes ODF’s Incident Management Team 1)
- 5 in Colorado
The Oregon Department of Forestry and its sister agencies in the other western states routinely share firefighting resources as needed. The arrangement is reciprocal: If ODF needs outside help on fires in Oregon, its partner agencies will provide personnel and equipment when possible.
NO NEW FIRES
No new fires 10 acres or larger were reported on the 16 million acres of private and public lands protected by ODF in the past 24 hours.
