OREGON (KTVZ) — Right now, one active large fire is burning on ODF-protected land, and seven others are burning statewide, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry.
So far this year, 1,026 fires have burned on ODF-protected land and another 3,466 statewide.
In total this fire season, over 320,000 acres have burned. That’s compared to nearly 2-million acres that burned in the 2024 season.
The department is reminding Oregonians that fire season is still in effect. It says it’s still experiencing new lightning and human-caused fire starts across the state and prevention needs to remain at top of mind.
