ODF Highlight: Oregon is Hawaii’s first deployment under the NW Compact
This past April, Hawaii became the eleventh member of the Northwest Wildland Fire Protection Agreement (NW Compact). On July 26, Oregon received Michael Walker, State Protection Forester, from Hawaii Division of Forestry & Wildlife to join ODF’s Statewide Support Team. This is the first deployment for Hawaii under the NW Compact. Walker will be serving the team as a Resource Unit Leader.
The purpose of the NW Compact is to promote effective prevention, suppression, and control of forest fires in the Northwest wildland region of the United States and Western areas of Canada. It provides an efficient way for member states, provinces, and territories to cope with wildland fires that might be beyond the capabilities of a single member agency, through information sharing, technology and resource distribution.
Weather
Westerly general winds will continue today along the east slopes of the Cascades and through the terrain gaps. These will pick up on Monday. Isolated thunderstorms are possible today over southeast Oregon and possibly over northeastern Washington. Temperatures will continue to be slightly below normal today through Monday.
Prevention
As firefighters take advantage of more favorable weather conditions, make sure you’re not adding another fire to their tasks. Keep up on your fire prevention and learn more at www.keeporegongreen.org.
Please, 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. Find danger levels and restrictions across the state here.
