Links for Wildfire-Related Information

Big wildfires are burning in several Western states (although the Pacific Northwest has, so far, remained relatively fire-free) and just about everyone knows someone who's been affected by them. To stay abreast of what's going on, tune in to the following websites for current information:

• InciWeb, the site where status reports are posted from fire camps
• Wildland Fires Info, a new site sporting connections to other fire information tools
• Wildfire Today, a blog that tracks fire news and posts links to media stories and agency reports

Southwest Oregon also has several veins of online information for fire information and fire prevention tips:

• The Rogue Valley Fire Prevention Cooperative has a Facebook page with links to current news stories and fire prevention tips, and a website stocked with prevention advice tailored for Rogue Valley residents and visitors.
• The co-op also has a page of links to fire departments in Jackson and Josephine counties.
• The Oregon Department of Forestry has a website displaying current fire season regulations, and a Twitter page for local fire activity.

Stay tuned, stay safe, stay informed.
