Published September 16, 2025 8:49 am

OREGON (KTVZ) -- Right now, one active large fire is burning on ODF-protected land, and seven others are burning statewide, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry.

So far this year, 1,026 fires have burned on ODF-protected land and another 3,466 statewide.

In total this fire season, over 320,000 acres have burned. That's compared to nearly 2-million acres that burned in the 2024 season.

The department is reminding Oregonians that fire season is still in effect. It says it's still experiencing new lightning and human-caused fire starts across the state and prevention needs to remain at top of mind.
