Published June 18, 2025 1c ODF e ins re season in northeast Oregon La Grande, OR - While some areas in northeast Oregon remain green, re activity in the region has started to increase. As a result, the Oregon Depart- ment of Forestry (ODF) has declared the start of re season for the Northeast Oregon District. “Continued dry condi- tions and increasing tem- peratures are expected in the coming weeks. These conditions, combined with rising re danger, have led us to declare re season, said Justin Lauer, District Forester. The re season began Thursday, June 5, for the forests and rangelands pro- tected by the ODF North- east Oregon District. “With the forecasted weather conditions our ne fuels will continue to cure out making it more likely for res to spread quick- ly. Declaring fire season allows us to help prevent human-caused res, which can be a signi cant issue throughout the summer,” Lauer explained. The declaration of re season places re preven- tion restrictions on land- owners and the public. Additionally, re pre- vention regulations on in- dustrial logging and forest management activities are put into place. Lands a ected include private, state, county, mu- nicipal, and tribal lands in Union, Baker, Wallowa, and Umatilla counties along with small portions of Malheur, Morrow, and Grant counties within the Northeast Oregon Forest Protection District. This area encompasses approximately two million acres of protected lands. ODF encourages land- owners and the public to help prevent accidental ignitions by taking extra precautions while recreat- ing or working, it can make a di erence.
