Union County answered the call last night and supported our Umatilla County neighbors as the Dry Creek Fire exploded and grew to over 5000 acres immediately! Cove, Imbler, La Grande, La Grande Rural and Union Rural sent a task force of 4 brush trucks and a tender to Weston last night to assist in the fire suppression effort. We are glad we can provide this support to our neighbors and know that our neighboring counties will support us when we need it!
