Fiery impact on high-profile race? U.S. House District 5 candidates share views on busy, scary wildfire season

Isabella Warren will have a report on Fox at Four

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ)-- The state of Oregon has been hit with an intense, early wildfire season, with over a million acres burned by July. Local, state and federal resources in the state are growing thin, as many large fires in Eastern Oregon continue to burn, weeks after igniting.

Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer visited with Redmond smokejumpers last week, to learn how Central Oregon is helping with the firefight in the region and to our east.

Isabella Warren sat down with the Republican incumbent to discuss the topic and is reaching out to Democratic challenger Janelle Bynum for a report tonight on NewsChannel 21 on Fox at Four.
