LA GRANDE, Ore. Forest managers in northeast Oregon declared on Tuesday an early start to the 2021 fire season, with conditions resembling those that would be typical for mid-summer, as firefighters were containing two wildfires ignited by lightning in the region.
“We’ve been seeing fire conditions and behavior that is more indicative of mid to late July recently.” said Joe Hessel, the Oregon Department of Forestry’s district forester for northeast Oregon.
The fire season begins at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for approximately 2 million acres of forest and range lands protected by the department. That means debris burning is prohibited, burn permits will not be issued for burn barrels or open burning, and logging and other industrial operations must have water supplies ready to extinguish any fires.
