Weather & fire-spread conditions

⚠️ Red Flag Warning in effect. The National Weather Service has flagged conditions here — usually wind plus dry air — that can make fires spread fast. This is the official warning that fire danger is high right now.

Hot, dry, and windy weather can help a fire grow; cool, calm, or wet weather helps crews. The tags below rate each day for fire spread — green is calm, red can push a fire.

A general fire-weather guide (wind matters most, then how dry it is, then heat), not a prediction of what this fire will do.

Fighting fire is a job you can get

You can get paid to do this.

Wildland firefighting is an entry-level job. You start with no experience and no college degree, and one season pays more than most summer internships.

Most crews hire in fall and winter for the next summer, when more jobs open up.

Oregon has 56 of these jobs open right now, and 18 of them take zero experience.
