ODF Fire Report: Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020
Oregon Activity Summary
We are closely monitoring 12 major fires in Oregon, down from 17 yesterday (see table below for details). Fires
are removed from the list when they are 100% lined and fire managers are confident in their progress toward
containment. There are more than 6,000 personnel assigned to these fires from across the nation and Canada.
This doesn’t include the many of the government emergency response employees, landowners, forestland
operators, and members of the community who are contributing to the fight in whatever way they can. About 1
million acres have burned in Oregon since the start of this year, which is nearly double the 10-year average of
approximately 557,811.

change over the next several days, in some cases significantly. We will be taking every opportunity to map these
fires. Fire maps are an important tool for both ongoing response operations and keeping people informed.
