The Lane County Sheriff’s Office continues to work closely with the fire teams.  At this time we are able to reduce the following areas to Level 2 (BE SET):

  1. High Prairie area, including all of High Prairie Road, Brock Road, Bar BL Ranch Road, Nubian Way, Mountain View Road, and Huckleberry Lane 
  2. Westfir-Oakridge Road from Westfir city limits to Roberts Road
  3. McFarland Road
  4. Oakridge north of Laurel Butte Road

The City of Westfir, and areas of the City of Oakridge that were reduced to Level 2 (Be Set) yesterday, remain at Level 2 (Be Set).  Many forest and road closures are still in effect.

Fire crews are still operating heavily in the area.  Residents are asked to be aware of increased fire related traffic, drive safely, and obey all road closures and traffic safety laws.
