We are expected another day of unsettled weather due to the passage of a cold front moving in from the west. Expect windy conditions today and rain beginning in the afternoon. Rain amounts could total over 3/4" today and overnight.  Good air quality expected today and tomorrow throughout the forecast

Thanks to the hard work from the firefighters, as well as some help with the weather, the #LionsheadFire is now at 28% containment! As containment slowly increases, the public may wonder why some closures or evacuations remain in place, and why they are not able to return home. We sympathize with those who have been affected by these fires. However, it's important to note that containment does not mean a fire is out, or that the danger has passed. The containment percentage ...refers to the perimeter of the fire, and doesn’t correlate to safety level within the fire perimeter. The fire itself may still burn within the interior for many weeks. We want the public to know that we are working diligently to make the areas safe for owners to repopulate, but it takes a thorough cooperative effort to do soFirst and foremost, fire managers must assure the areas are contained, secured and safe from fire. Pockets of heat can remain, even months after a fire has passed. Crews are combing these...

Springfield, Ore. –  The wind blew, the rain fell, and the lines held on the Holiday Farm Fire. Sustained winds of 15-20 mph with gusts up to 40 mph hit the Willamette Valley and foothills early Wednesday afternoon stirring the embers and fanning flames deep within the interior, but nothing escaped the confines of the fire’s edge. With the Holiday Farm Fire staying put, incident managers were able to divert helicopter support to other fires that started in the nearby area.    As soon as the wind died down the rain began to fall. Overall, about an inch of rain fell on the fire overnight. A hydrologist from the Medford office of the National Weather Service has been working alongside the incident meteorologist for the past few days. Looking at the fire area from the air and on the ground has revealed no major concerns at this time for large landslides. However, the trifecta of fire, wind and rain has taken its toll on soil conditions, further weakening tree root systems and...
