*These numbers may change as we receive more data.
There are approximately 10,165 personnel assigned to the 33 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.
Prevention: As we already know, fire behavior this season is extremely active and continuously changing. Even as containment has risen on several fires, they are still experiencing fire growth, established spot fires and slopover on the containment lines. Firefighters continue to work diligently to contain these fires and will do so until it is completely out. Now is NOT the time to become complacent.
Help your wildland firefighters by preventing the next human-caused wildfire. The easiest way to do this is by checking your local fire restrictions and brushing up on your wildfire prevention knowledge. Remain aware of weather conditions and any red flag warnings in your area. Sign up for emergency alerts at ORalert.gov.
Weather: Gusty gap winds will continue through Tuesday, though any westside humidity increases will not last far from the Cascades. Low pressure moving across southern British Columbia Wednesday and Thursday will bring scattered thunderstorms near the Canadian border Wednesday and into far northeast Washington Thursday. Winds shift to be from the northwest and north through the Okanogan Valley and the northern Columbia Basin. Monsoonal moisture will move into central, south central, and southeast Oregon from Thursday through Sunday with initially dry thunderstorms moving northward from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Great Basin. Rainfall from the storms increases Saturday and Sunday, but so does the lightning potential.
In Memoriam: The Oregon Department of Forestry extends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Jason Ensign, who passed away while fighting the Wrights Spring Fire for Green Diamond Resource Company.
Every life lost on a fire hits hard for all of us in the wildland fire community, especially when it’s this close to home.
ODF will continue to work closely with our federal, state, and local agency partners and support wherever is needed through the next steps of this process.
And to every firefighter out on the line this season: stay safe, stay aware and take care of yourself. We appreciate everything you are doing to protect Oregon.
