As of 9:45 p.m. tonight, we have 13 confirmed fires. Most of the fires are contained, and those that are still active are currently staffed with multiple engines and crews.

Firefighters will continue working throughout the night in order to knock down the remaining fires and search for additional smokes. Please be cautious of continued fire traffic in both counties.

We would like to thank all of our partners throughout our region. The multi-agency #teamwork is impeccable.

As a reminder, there is still a chance of thunder and lightning overnight into tomorrow morning. We will be back at it tomorrow searching for additional starts.

(Next update will be tomorrow morning)

Of those calls, 9 were confirmed #fires, all under 1/2 an acre in size. Crews are still searching in the remaining reported areas, but have not located fires in several locations. In fact, some are duplicate calls for the same fire.

Tomorrow, we will have aircraft up doing a recon flight. The goal is to take a look at the big picture to see if any smokes are visible from the air.

Why couldn’t we do this flight today? The active storm cells this afternoon posed too much of a hazard for our team.

Here’s a quick snapshot of just one moment throughout ODF Southwest Oregon District‘s evening, and there’s another round on the way.

Stay safe out there! #FireSeason is definitely here. Remember, clouds and a small amount of rain does not mean the fire danger level decreases. Burning debris piles is STILL prohibited. #KeepOregonGreen
