Burning planned for Sunday near Eugene

Burning planned for Sunday for Units 2 (Long Tom), 3 (East Kirk), & 8 (Willow Creek). Another day of northeast wind is forecast, which is necessary to protect air quality in Eugene.

Burning Applegate units today (October 3rd)

Most of the planned burn units in the vicinity of Fern Ridge Reservoir received rain early this morning, however the Applegate units north of Elmira are still dry and will be burned first; if the other units dry out and the winds remain favorable for keeping the Valley smoke-free the units north of Fern Ridge may be burned this afternoon.

Burning planned near Fern Ridge Reservoir on Saturday, October 3rd

Planning to burn units 1, 2, 3, & 4 tomorrow, Saturday October 3rd. Ignition will likely begin at the Spires Unit around 10:00. There is still a chance of rain tonight, which would likely delay ignition until noon or later. Depending on how burning goes Saturday, there appears to be favorable weather to burn the Willow Creek units (#8) on Sunday. The current weather forecast indicates a switch to northwest wind starting Monday, which would preclude additional burning in the west Eugene area.
