With still another couple of months to go in the fire season, it remains important to keep safety in mind with continued high fire danger in the region. Kiel Nairns of the Oregon Department of Forestry’s The Dalles Unit says their regulated use closure remains in place, adding the fires the agency has dealt with so far have been human-caused. Nairns says their initial attacks have been able to keep most fires small…and the addition of fire boss planes to be based in the Gorge has been helping in that effort.
