South Central Oregon Fire Danger Level Elevated to High

According to a press release provided by the South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership (SCOFMP), as of Friday morning (6-11-21), the Fire Danger level in the area has been elevated to “High”. Early season summer-like hot, dry weather, depleted snowpack and rapid drying of forest fuels have resulted in fire danger levels reaching “High”. Fires starting in these conditions have potential for rapid fire spread and major damage. The Fire Danger includes all private, county and state wildlands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Klamath-Lake District. It also applies to the Fremont-Winema National Forest, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lakeview District, and the Sheldon-Hart Mountain and Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complexes.
