Umpqua National Forest

Two new wildfires caused evacuations in southern Douglas County, as hot, dry weather continued across the area.

Fire officials say the milder weather has helped, but heavy forest fuels are still a concern.

About 125 fires are burning across the state and the largest fire in the country is in eastern Oregon. All these fires are putting a strain on crews and resources.

As hot weather approaches and forest vegetation continues to dry, officials with both the Siuslaw and Umpqua National Forests have raised fire danger from ‘moderate’ to ‘high’.

Most areas of the Umpqua National Forest have re-opened for recreation following last summer’s wildfires.
