There are approximately 2,975 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 to keep wildfires small.
ODF Highlight: If you see the start of a fire and can provide information, eye-witness statements, video, photos or any other data, you can assist investigators by emailing them to odf.firetips@odf.oregon.gov.
This information helps our investigators in creating a full picture of what happened and identifying a responsible party if there is one.
Weather: An upper-level trough over the region will keep temperatures cooler than usual and lead to showers and wet thundershowers mainly over sections of eastern Washington today as well as creating areas of rain and showers over sections of eastern Oregon. Rain and showers will continue Tuesday and diminish on Wednesday as the upper trough moves eastward. General winds will continue to decrease east of the Cascades today and Tuesday as the cooler temperatures linger over the area. Drying returns later in the work week.
Prevention: Check the fire regulations 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.
