With lightning in the forecast and several parts of the state under a Red Flag Warning or a Fire Weather Watch, the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal is staging firefighting resources in Central Oregon.  Officials say this is a proactive move for the region to be better prepared and bolster any initial fire attack.  These firefighters are not being assigned to a specific incident but will be an added resource and increase the state’s readiness if there is a fire.  Two firefighting task forces, one from Marion County and one from Washington County, will be stationed in Central Oregon, ready to respond and help local resources in the event a wildfire erupts and threatens structures.  These teams will be prepositioned for 72-hours but may stay longer if they are needed.
