Oregon Wildfires Still a Threat | Portland News

Oregon’s wildfire crisis isn’t over — despite some fires being contained, the state remains dangerously dry as Labor Day looms. Officials have downgraded the emergency status, allowing some state workers to return to regular duties, not because danger has lessened, but because immediate resource demands have eased — though readiness remains high. Governor Kotek called this summer’s blaze “massive,” praising first responders and the National Guard, while warning that September could bring more fire risks. Now, efforts are shifting toward long-term recovery: helping communities access federal aid and rebuild. With vigilance still critical, Oregon is watching closely — fall doesn’t mean safety, it means staying alert. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
