Yet again this morning, we are experiencing a heavy amount of drift smoke in the area from out of District fires. It is very hazy and we are getting multiple calls.

We have resources out in the field checking reports and all reports point to drift smoke so far.

If you see flames/ a defined column of smoke or observe someone burning, please continue to report these activities. General rule: Burning is still not allowed.

Thanks

Western Lane staff!

Tonight around 8 pm, while transporting a critical patient to the hospital, the crew of Medic 115 encountered a brush fire along the shoulder of Highway 126.

Recognizing the immediate threat, one crew member quickly deployed a fire extinguisher to slow the fire’s spread. The ambulance then continued its emergent transport to the hospital without delay.

Shortly afterward, Lane Fire Authority crews arrived on scene and contained the fire before it could rapidly spread.

Great work by everyone involved. This incident is a great example of the quick decision-making, teamwork, and dedication our crews demonstrate every day—protecting both our patients and our community.
