ODF Highlight: The Salem Coordination Center (SCC) is a statewide dispatch center based in Salem that plays a key role in maintaining the complete and coordinated statewide fire protection system in Oregon. The dispatchers track every resource dispatched from the Oregon Department of Forestry and work with other dispatch centers to order new resources as needed.
Over the last several weeks, their primary duty has been to mobilize resources from other states and countries to relieve the strain on the agency’s firefighters. They are also tasked with mobilizing ODF’s incident management teams when the time comes.
Weather: Today brings a break in convection and winds. Thursday and Friday have another low-pressure trough developing along the coast. Thunderstorms return tonight across south-central Oregon then expand north and east through early Thursday morning. Storms begin drier and then evolve Thursday afternoon through Friday to bring moderate or heavy rain plus moderately strong outflow wind. Additionally, general winds become gusty each afternoon. Cooler temperatures and breezy winds continue through the weekend. Saturday appears more showery than Sunday. Western PSAs have the best chance for wetting rain on Sunday.
Prevention: Even with the moderating weather, Oregon is still incredibly dry. Know the fire danger level of the areas where you live, work and play, and follow all local restrictions on burning, equipment use, campfires and other activities that can start wildfires.
