There are approximately 2,426 personnel assigned to the 7 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: Stay informed this September. As fire danger levels and restrictions fluctuate, make sure to check local restrictions regularly where you live or where you plan to recreate. Brush up on your wildfire prevention knowledge and remain aware of weather conditions.
Weather: Another, weaker trough of low pressure drops down over southeast Oregon today bringing isolated showers and thunderstorms to northern Washington. This low sits over northern California Wednesday into Thursday bringing gusty east winds to areas west of the Cascades on Wednesday, although RH will remain somewhat elevated. Showers and thunderstorms are expected across south central Oregon on Wednesday, then spread to eastern Oregon on Thursday while eastern Washington remains quite dry. The low moves out for the weekend as a generally dry, mild airmass moves in.
Today’s Highlight: What is Suppression Repair? As many have probably seen in large fire updates, several large fires in Oregon are now in suppression repair operations. Suppression repair is a series of immediate post-fire actions taken to repair damage and minimize potential soil erosion and impacts resulting from fire suppression activities. This work repairs the hand and dozer lines, roads, trails, staging areas, safety zones, and drop points used during fire suppression efforts.
