🚨Fire danger increases to HIGH🚨

Today Oregon Department of Forestry and Dayton Fire have increased the fire danger from moderate to HIGH due to continued dry and warm conditions. This is evident by a mid-day wildland fire occurring south of Dayton.

Just before noon Monday, firefighters were called to Stringtown Road for a fire in a recently harvested wheat field. The fire was originally reported to be 50’x50’ with moderate growth. Firefighters from across the county responded and stopped the fire at approximately 2/3 of an acre.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. No farm equipment was operating in the area when the fire started.

We would like to thank Lafayette Fire Dept. Station 10, McMinnville Fire District and Amity Fire District for helping extinguish the fire and Dundee Fire/Rescue Volunteers for providing standby coverage for the district.
