ODF Highlight: ODF’s first response isn’t just for wildfire, and two ODF firefighters in the Southwest Oregon District proved that this week. After witnessing a semi-truck collide with a sedan in Phoenix, Oregon, two ODF firefighters in a nearby engine leaped into action. Travis Thorpe, relief engine operator, and Connor Bertocchi, crewmember, two positioned their engine to preserve the scene and immediately went to the aid of the sedan driver who was able to get out of their vehicle but was clearly in pain. The firefighters helped her off to the side of the highway out of harm’s way. One went back and did a search of the car to ensure no one else was in the vehicle while the other firefighter stayed by the injured driver’s side. The truck driver remained in his vehicle and appeared to be unharmed.
Thank you, Travis and Connor, for you quick response and outstanding public service!
Weather: Rain will move into northwest Oregon overnight and Saturday. Winds will be generally light east of the Cascades increasing on Saturday. Rain and cooler temperatures will continue next week.
Prevention: We are optimistic that we’ve hit a turning point in the season, however that doesn’t mean Oregon is in the clear yet. ODF warns Oregonians against becoming complacent. By taking extra steps, you can prevent the next human-caused wildfire in Oregon and reduce strain on resources. Find danger levels and restrictions across the state here.
