Fire conditions will likely remain elevated this week with hot temperatures combining with dry lightning across the region.
Current firefighter resources in the Northwest: 1,465 firefighters and support personnel; 57 engines; and 16 helicopters.

As wildfire season continues, please stay alert and follow local fire restrictions. Every action counts in reducing human-caused fire starts.

    For all the fires that are human caused it seems we could elevate the level of consequence through heavy fines for fireworks and criminal charge/prosecution for those convicted of starting the fires through negligence or intent. Very greatful for our hard working fire crews !
