Summary
Governor Tina Kotek has declared emergency under the Conflagration Act for two raging wildfires in Central Oregon — the Akawa Butte Fire in Deschutes County and the Brewer Fire in Jefferson County — as dangerous winds and dry heat push crews to their limits. Evacuations are underway, and state resources are now mobilizing to support local responders. With hotter, drier conditions expected to worsen Saturday, residents should monitor official social media channels for real-time updates.
