Oregon Dumps $122M on Wildfires | Portland News

Oregon just poured another $122 million into the wildfire fight — the worst season on record has burned over 2.5 million acres, and this emergency cash is headed straight to forestry and fire marshals to keep the state’s response running. Approved by the Joint Legislative Emergency Board, which meets outside regular sessions, the funding also covers a $7.5M gap at Southern Oregon University and $1M for election security — showing how many urgent priorities are juggling right now. With $45.9 million still left in the Emergency Fund, it’s clear Oregon’s not backing down as flames rage — they’re throwing everything they’ve got at the front lines.
