Another severe wildfire season
is fading into history – the third in a row. Along with the flames and destruction, Oregonians suffered through
weeks of choking smoke. This fall, forest landowners are conducting controlled
burns to clean up excess woody debris. Burning when weather conditions are
right limits smoke entering communities. It also reduces the risk of wildfires
later on. Learn more about fall burning from the Oregon Department of Forestry, www.oregon.gov/ODF/Fire/pages/Burn.aspx.
