We’re thrilled to announce that three large wildfires—including the Bootleg fire which burned across 413,000 acres for 39 days—are 100% contained as of this morning. Huge thanks to our dedicated & incredibly skilled fire personnel for this great accomplishment.
JUST IN: @NWSMedford has issued a #REDFLAGWARNING for our metro.
IN EFFECT 2P- 8P TODAY.
It does not mean there is a fire. It means critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will soon. Conditions promote rapid spread of fire which may become life threatening.
Please be safe & make sure your city allows fireworks. If they do, keep a wet bucket to throw used fireworks into, along with an active hose nearby.
Small steps to keep us all fire-free this 4th!
If you see illegal activity, the non emergency dispatch number is 541.770.4783
There is a lot of love and solidarity out there. Thanks to the moms, dads, union members, everyone with a leaf blower and eye wash, and sweet friends. Until next time, stay vigilant yall.
