🔥 Heads up, Eastern Oregon
A new weather system is pushing in today, and it’s bringing lightning with it. With how extremely dry everything is right now, fire danger is very high across the region.

Please take this seriously — NO burning of any kind.

That means no burn piles, no barrels, no campfires, no “just a quick little brush burn.” Conditions are primed for a spark to turn into a fast-moving wildfire.

NO exploding targets, NO tracer ammunition or Tanarite of any kind.
NO W**d Burners!

If you see smoke, report it immediately.
If you’re working outside, stay alert.
If you’re recreating, be extra cautious.

Let’s all do our part to keep our communities safe during this stretch of dangerous weather.

We appreciate your help! Elgin Rural Fire Protection District.

It’s Hot Outside.

Please remember to drink water when it’s hot. Dehydration will come on quickly. Make sure your pets have water available and have access to it.
