ODF Incident Management Teams
- Team 3 is on rotation.
- Team 1 is on call.
- Team 2 is on rest.
There are approximately 155 personnel assigned to the 2 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: As Oregon heads into its peak wildfire months, August and September, Oregon’s public safety services and natural resource agencies want to remind Oregonians to practice wildfire prevention, prepare their home and a go-bag for evacuation and know where to sign up for alerts.

Weather: Thunderstorms over eastern Oregon and Washington today will advance eastward out of the region this evening. Isolated wet thunderstorms are also possible over northeastern Washington today. For the rest of the work week, thunderstorm potential appears low for the region. Temperatures will continue below average at least through midweek due to a series of weather disturbances from the Pacific passing through. Light rain even looks possible for western Washington and northwest Oregon by Tuesday night. Westerly winds will continue each day through the Cascade gaps into central Oregon and central Washington.
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.
