*These numbers may change as we receive more data.

There are approximately 11,619 personnel assigned to the 30 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: With extreme fire weather conditions across the state, the Oregon Department of Forestry, along with other fire managers across Oregon, are urging Oregonians and those visiting our state to exercise extreme caution and help prevent wildfires. Check local restrictions, avoid activities that could cause a spark, stay clear of firefighting operation areas and follow local evacuation and emergency alerts.

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.

Weather: A persistent pattern will keep the Northwest between Great Basin high pressure and low pressure near British Columbia through Friday. Marine air will continue moving onshore west of the Cascades. Eastern PSAs will see daily dry, breezy conditions with continued low humidity, especially across southeast Oregon. There will be a slight chance of mainly dry thunderstorms across central and northeast Oregon on Wednesday and Thursday.  A dry cold front on Saturday will produce strong and gusty winds resulting in widespread fire weather concerns, especially in eastern Washington. Expect increasing instability Monday as a high-pressure ridge and associated surface thermal trough develop across southwest Oregon. Overnight humidity recovery east of the Cascades will remain limited over the next several days.

Today’s Highlight: When wildfire evacuation notices are issued, every minute matters.

If you or someone in your household may need extra time to evacuate, the Oregon Department of Emergency Management asks you to consider leaving one evacuation level earlier. This can help you avoid traffic, reduce stress, and get to safety before conditions change.

You may want to leave early if your household includes:

  • Someone who relies on medical equipment or oxygen
  • Young children
  • Pets
  • Livestock
  • Someone with mobility or access and functional needs

Planning ahead today can make all the difference during an emergency.

  • Sign up for local emergency alerts at gov
  • Stay informed about fires, evacuations, shelters, and resources at oregon.gov
  • Please follow evacuation instructions from local officials and don’t wait until conditions become dangerous.

There are approximately 10,333 personnel assigned to the 30 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: Over the last 72 hours, the state of Oregon has received thousands of lightning strikes. As new fires continue to pop up, firefighters will be working around the clock to catch them early and keep them small. A preventable, human-caused fire will take resources away from a new lightning start. We can’t control lightning, but we can control our actions.

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.

Weather: Monsoonal moisture will get pushed out of the Pacific Northwest today as an offshore low moves up the Oregon Coast. This will limit thunderstorm potential to a slight afternoon threat over extreme northeast Oregon and southeast Washington. This approaching low will also intensify onshore flow, bringing cooling and increased moisture to western Washington and Oregon, while generating gusty west winds and low humidity that create critical fire weather across southeast Oregon and central Washington. A cold front will sweep through the region on Saturday bringing light rain to northwest Washington and deepening the marine layer west of the Cascades. It will also deliver some cooling east of the Cascades alongside 30 to 40 mph wind gusts and single digit to teen humidity levels leading to critical fire weather conditions. The winds are expected to moderate through mid-week, although dry humidity levels will remain east of the Cascades.

ODF Highlight: This week, Oregon Department of Forestry’s West Oregon District firefighters, alongside local landowners and operators, responded to 20 new fire starts across the district following the lightning event. To give perspective, the 10-year average of fires for an entire season in this district is 35 fires.

The majority of the fires were fully extinguished by the early morning while some were in mop-up through the rest of the day. Through the dedication of these firefighters and our state, local, and contract wildfire response partners, none became a large wildfire.

There are approximately 9,885 personnel assigned to the 24 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: The Northwest Region is in Preparedness Level 5 meaning that resources are extremely strained throughout Oregon and Washington. Moving forward throughout the week, ODF protection districts will be focused on aggressive initial attack to new fire starts, while ODF CIMTs will be working to suppress large fires in the state. Even just one preventable, human-caused fire will add stress to an already strained system.

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.

Weather: The surge of monsoonal moisture will continue to push into Oregon today as an upper-level low approaches the coast. This will result in a significant increase in thunderstorms across Oregon with the most numerous thunderstorms expected near the Oregon Cascades into northwest Oregon. Although widespread wetting rains are not expected, some locally heavy rains are possible over the central Oregon Cascades. The scattered thunderstorm threat will continue to spread north and east tomorrow night into Thursday across Washington into northeast Oregon with an even lesser chance of wetting rains. Before the thunderstorms arrive expect hot and dry conditions to continue, especially over eastern Washington with triple digit temperatures and relative humidity values in the teens. Drier air will filter into the area late Thursday afternoon east of the Cascades resulting in hot, dry and windy conditions. These conditions will likely persist at times through Saturday, although there will be gradual cooling. Meanwhile west of the Cascades expect the return of cooler onshore flow with much higher relative humidity values.

ODF Highlight: Yesterday, Oregon Department of Forestry firefighters from the Dallas Unit responded to a three-alarm grass fire just a little bit south of their office. Though the fire was not on ODF-protected land, the proximity to the ODF office made them some of the closest resources. The ODF Dallas Unit sent several engines to assist and ordered a helicopter to assist ground operations. Alongside SW Polk Fire and Dallas Fire, wildland and structural firefighters were able to respond quickly and protect the surrounding community.

Weather: Upper-level ridging will continue to push monsoonal moisture north across Oregon today, with potential thunderstorms primarily over south-central into southeast Oregon. Elsewhere expect warming conditions with the hottest and driest conditions forecast for the Columbia Basin with highs around 100 and relative humidity values in the teens. The chance of thunderstorms will increase significantly on Wednesday with the best chances again over the Oregon Cascades into southeast Oregon. Meanwhile the heat will continue to intensify across most of the region with highs in the lower 100s over a large portion of the Columbia Basin and relative humidity in the teens. Thursday will bring the hottest and driest conditions of the stretch to eastern Washington, followed by afternoon thunderstorms and then critical windy, dry conditions that should persist at least through Friday.

ODF Highlight: As technology evolves, so does the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). ODF continues to adapt and integrate technological advancements into their work. During fire season, the agency uses several different types of tech for early detection, prevention, data collection and to support suppression efforts. Read more at ODFFire.com.

Weather: High pressure centered over the Great Basin continues to expand northwest through mid-week. This will result in generally hot and dry conditions. Monsoon moisture spreads into south-central and southeast Oregon Tuesday for potential lightning. The lightning threat Wednesday expands to all areas east of the Cascades, possibly into southwest Oregon and the Washington Olympics as well.  A weak upper-level trough is expected to settle off the Pacific Northwest coast late in the week. This brings enhanced wind to eastside PSAs, with Friday being of most concern.

ODF Highlight: Last week, Oregon Department of Forestry wildland firefighters alongside Lebanon Fire and Albany Fire responded to a brush fire near the Santiam River. Due to the rapid response of local resources, the fire burned just over an acre and was fully suppressed within just a few hours.

This is an excellent example of how the complete and coordinated fire system in Oregon works at all levels, from local to statewide response. The relationship between ODF protection districts and local fire departments is vital to keeping fires small and protecting Oregon’s communities.

There are approximately 2,309 personnel assigned to the 6 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: By taking a few extra steps, you can help prevent the next wildfire in Oregon.

Wildfire prevention means:

  • Debris burning remains the number one cause of human-caused fires in Oregon. Cover your pile and wait until fire season is declared over before burning. A dry, covered pile is cleaner and safer to burn in the late fall and winter.
  • Check local restrictions before lighting a camp or warming fire to see if it is allowed.
  • Never leave your campfire or warming fire unattended.
  • Make sure your campfire or warming fire is OUT COLD. That means drowning it with water, stirring the ashes, and repeating that process until it is cold to touch. If there is any heat coming off the embers, then it can reignite later.
  • Don’t park your car over dried grass, and make sure your vehicle or ATV is regularly serviced.
  • Make sure your tow chains are not dragging. The metal hitting asphalt while driving can throw sparks into dry grass on the side of the road.

Visit Oregon.gov/odf to find local fire restrictions and keeporegongreen.org for more wildfire prevention tips.

Weather: High pressure will build over the region today and tomorrow. This will deliver very warm and dry conditions to the east side public service announcements with locally breezy conditions over south central Oregon. Additionally, monsoonal moisture and increased instability will begin to creep into the southeast quarter of Oregon by afternoon resulting in a small chance of thunderstorms as well as pyrocumulus development over existing fires. This threat will increase over all eastern Oregon on Tuesday. Any storms which form on Monday will initially be dry, however they will transition to wet storms on Tuesday. The forecast for late Wednesday to the end of the workweek is uncertain, however it appears the ridge will briefly break down as an offshore low heads inland. If this comes to fruition, expect a significant cooldown west of the Cascades as well as a good chance of thunderstorms from the Cascade Crest eastward.

ODF Highlight: The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Southwest Oregon District’s aggressive initial attack played a critical role in protecting nearby communities during the East Evans Creek Fire’s first operational period.

Reported Friday afternoon, the fire quickly grew under hot, dry and windy conditions in steep, challenging terrain. The first ODF engine arrived on scene in just 30 seconds after witnessing the incident, allowing firefighters to immediately begin suppression efforts.

Additional resources quickly followed, including five helicopters and three air tankers. Working in coordination with partner agencies, firefighters established an anchor point and made a stand along East Evans Creek Road, holding the fire along that corridor despite difficult topography and hazardous snags.

Those early suppression efforts helped keep the fire from making a significant push toward the Shady Cove and Eagle Point communities and prevented it from becoming much larger during its initial hours.

As firefighters continue working to suppress the East Evans Creek Fire, the line established during initial attack continues to help protect neighboring communities.

East Evans Creek Fire resources capitalize on overnight conditions, continue making progress

July 13, 2026

SAMS VALLEY, Ore. (July 13, 2026) – Firefighters worked all night continuing to build on progress across the East Evans Creek Fire, located approximately seven miles west of Shady Cove. Overnight, the fire continued to burn fuels within an area with difficult access and steep terrain on the northwestern edge in the Spignet Butte area, moving the fire perimeter toward the indirect fireline that firefighters have been constructing. Crews worked throughout the night to strengthen fireline and solidify the temporary retardant lines dropped by multiple air tankers yesterday and construct line around a ~20-acre slopover.

An overnight infrared (IR) flight found the acreage of the fire increased to 3,628. This change is due to the added fire activity yesterday within the established control lines.

Resources were able to hold lines and connect those sections with new line on the northeastern edge, as well as on the southern side, where the majority of homes are located. Overnight, Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) structural resources patrolled the areas near houses and today, structural resources will continue to mop up 100 feet adjacent to homes within the fire.

Wildland resources continue to work along the south and eastern parts of the perimeter, where up to 25 feet of mop-up is complete across the perimeter. This work creates a cold, black control line that is difficult for fire to cross again. As this work continues, containment will begin to increase.

Weather conditions will continue to challenge firefighters today; instability in the forecast slightly increases the chance for thunderstorms across southern Oregon, which could create erratic wind on the fire, as well as the potential for sparking new fires in the area. East Evans Creek Fire Unified Command is aware and planning for these challenges, and can provide added resources should new fire starts be reported.

While safety remains a top priority on this incident, firefighters are committed to holding the fire in the smallest footprint possible and will continue to aggressively push forward on this progress. 

The fire started on Friday afternoon at 2:41 p.m. after a car crashed into a power pole, sparking dry vegetation in the area. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the cause of the crash.

Evacuations: The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and Emergency Management have issued the following evacuations by level:

Evacuation Level 3 Go Now: JAC-148A All residences located adjacent to E. Evans Creek Road, from address 19385 through 21899, are included in the evacuation area. Additionally, residences located at 21612 Antioch Road and 21615 Antioch Road are included. 

Evacuation Level 2 Be Set:
