Fire season has been declared east of the Cascades on lands protected by ODFCentral Oregon...and in the Ochoco National Forest, and the Crooked River National Grasslands in Central Oregon.
Fire season not yet begun in areas protected by Oregon Department of Forestry west of the Cascades. But, that could be coming soon in Douglas, Jackson, and Josephine Counties.
Due to our very poor winter in terms of rain and snow, expect that fire season will begin sooner.....rather than later. NOW is the time to make sure you have your property prepared to resist fire moving through it
