ODF Highlight: Many members on ODF’s Incident Management Teams consider the team their fire family for the summer, but for
twin sisters Jennifer and Jessica that’s quite literally true. Jennifer Erdmann serves as Planning Sections Chief and Jessica Pires serves as the Communications Unit Leader on ODF’s Incident Management Team 1.
As of today, August 19, they’ve spent 34 days on fire assignments this year, and we’re about halfway through a typical fire year. Thank you to Jennifer, Jessica and all the Incident Management Team members helping to manage and organize wildfire suppression efforts across the state.
Weather: Low pressure moves into northwest Washington today with western Washington showers. Expect gusty general winds with higher humidity for the lower western Basin but humidity will be much lower for the upper eastern Basin and southeast Oregon. Similar weather for Tuesday and Wednesday as showers expand across the area though with weaker winds and slightly higher humidity. A new upper low deepens offshore on Wednesday then moves inland through the weekend. Showers and generally wet thunderstorms return Thursday and Friday. Increased general winds Thursday and Saturday.
Prevention: By taking extra steps, you can prevent the next human-caused wildfire in Oregon and reduce strain on resources. 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.
