*These numbers may change as we receive more data.
There are approximately 6,807 personnel assigned to the 13 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: As we already know, fire behavior this season is extremely active and continuously changing. Even as containment is rising on large wildfires, the region is still experiencing critical fire weather. Firefighters continue to work diligently and will do so until all fires are completely out. Now is NOT the time to become complacent.
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. Remain aware of weather conditions and any red flag warnings in your area. Sign up for emergency alerts at ORalert.gov.
Weather: High pressure builds today, and a westside thermal trough will bring light easterly flow to western Oregon with locally breezy winds in the western Gorge. The trough shifts east of the crest later today and Tuesday, increasing low‑level instability and smoke ventilation, especially across eastern Oregon. Meanwhile, low pressure will approach the coast with mainly dry thunderstorms across south‑central Oregon today. The upper low will drift inland through the week, producing isolated dry thunderstorms across many PSAs and with very deep mixing east of the Cascades outside the storms. Dry general winds will increase through the Cascade gaps and across most central and eastern PSAs through the rest of the week, peaking this weekend.
Today’s Highlight: Great catch! Yesterday, ODF Southwest Oregon District firefighters responded to a grass fire in the Butte Falls area. Working together, air and ground resources were able to quickly stop forward progression of the grass fire despite hot, windy and dry conditions. The fire is estimated to be two acres.
ODF’s aggressive initial attack is to keep fires small, which reduces the risk to firefighters, the cost of the fire and the natural resources lost.
