*These numbers may change as we receive more data.

There are approximately 11,619 personnel assigned to the 30 large fires across the state, not including many of the local and agency government employees, landowners, forestland operators, and members of the community who are contributing every day.

Initial attack remains ODF’s top priority.

Prevention: With extreme fire weather conditions across the state, the Oregon Department of Forestry, along with other fire managers across Oregon, are urging Oregonians and those visiting our state to exercise extreme caution and help prevent wildfires. Check local restrictions, avoid activities that could cause a spark, stay clear of firefighting operation areas and follow local evacuation and emergency alerts.

Help your wildland firefighters by preventing the next human-caused wildfire. The easiest way to do this is by checking your local fire restrictions and brushing up on your wildfire prevention knowledge.

Weather: A persistent pattern will keep the Northwest between Great Basin high pressure and low pressure near British Columbia through Friday. Marine air will continue moving onshore west of the Cascades. Eastern PSAs will see daily dry, breezy conditions with continued low humidity, especially across southeast Oregon. There will be a slight chance of mainly dry thunderstorms across central and northeast Oregon on Wednesday and Thursday.  A dry cold front on Saturday will produce strong and gusty winds resulting in widespread fire weather concerns, especially in eastern Washington. Expect increasing instability Monday as a high-pressure ridge and associated surface thermal trough develop across southwest Oregon. Overnight humidity recovery east of the Cascades will remain limited over the next several days.

Today’s Highlight: When wildfire evacuation notices are issued, every minute matters.

If you or someone in your household may need extra time to evacuate, the Oregon Department of Emergency Management asks you to consider leaving one evacuation level earlier. This can help you avoid traffic, reduce stress, and get to safety before conditions change.

You may want to leave early if your household includes:

  • Someone who relies on medical equipment or oxygen
  • Young children
  • Pets
  • Livestock
  • Someone with mobility or access and functional needs

Planning ahead today can make all the difference during an emergency.

  • Sign up for local emergency alerts at gov
  • Stay informed about fires, evacuations, shelters, and resources at oregon.gov
  • Please follow evacuation instructions from local officials and don’t wait until conditions become dangerous.
