Notification letters were mailed out this week to all owners of taxlots located within 1/4 mile of planned burn units. Burning is dependent upon weather and the regional and national wildfire situation. Burning will not occur until the Northwest Preparedness Level has decreased to 3 (meaning that adequate firefighters are available for the current and anticipated wildfires). The weather also needs to be such that the fire operations would be safe, produce the desired effects, and smoke would minimally impact residents. Current weather forecast is not favorable for burning, and consequently no burning is anticipated for the week of September 12.
We are currently experiencing technical difficulty with our Prescribed Fire Information Line. Normally, the current status of burning is available on a recording at 541-683-6970.
This is an interagency website developed by a partnership between federal, state, and local agencies within the Willamette Valley to provide timely and accurate information for prescribed fires and fuels projects within the Willamette Valley. Our aim is to provide one website where the best available information and links related to prescribed fire can be accessed.
