Note: As of 9/5, the NW is at
Preparedness Level 4, while the national Preparedness level is 3. These levels change throughout the fire season.
Due to the rapidly changing nature of fires, we do not cover news related to current/individual wildfires in our newsletter. For current info on fires and smoke in the region, please check out the CURRENT FIRE INFO page on our website.
