Excellent work - we couldn’t be more proud of our local fire service members!

In 2021, the U.S. Forest Service- Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest implemented a wildly successful interagency initial attack season in cooperation with ODF Southwest Oregon District, the Bureau of Land Management-Medford District and the Rogue Valley Fire Chief's Association. Our rock star FS fire management & interagency personnel kept 60 fire starts for a total of 53 acres burned on the forest. As if that accomplishment isn't enough, we have another success to share with you:

In staying on the accomplishment course, after a busy fire season providing stellar initial attack-as well as lending a helping hand to other forests-our firefighters are continuing to reduce fuels on the RRSNF while making our local communities safer and more resistant to wildfire.

It is our pleasure to announce that our fire management personnel have burned 1,346 acres of piles since October 1. This exceeds last year's total for the entire prescribed burn season! To add some icing to the cake, we've had no issues with smoke, and no control issues on any of the burns.

"We'll continue burning piles until we either don't have the right weather conditions, or we run out of piles," added Deputy Fire Staff Officer Rob Budge.

Keep up the great work, fire peeps!
