Wildfires and Unhealthy Air Continue

Current air quality remains unhealthy. At 7AM, PM2.5 levels were 89.6 ug/m3.

Instead of your morning run or walk outdoors, consider using a treadmill or doing other exercises inside. It is important to limit outdoor activities during periods of poor air quality.

Fire conditions in Oregon according to Inciweb.org

According to Oregon Department of Forestry, wildfire potential remains extremely high in Klamath County and throughout southern Oregon. Remember that everyone has the responsibility to prevent wildfires.

  • Never leave a campfire unattended. Currently, Rogue-River Siskiyou National Forest is allowing campfires only in designated areas. Contact the Rogue-River Siskiyou National Forest or check out their website for a designated list.
  • When camping, take care when using and fueling lanterns, stoves, and heaters.
  • Avoid using cigarettes, cigars, or other lit products.
  • Keep all types of vehicles off dry grass.
