Cyclosporiasis cases linked to national outbreak reported in Oregon
Federal health agencies say illnesses caused by contaminated lettuce - OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore.—Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is reporting two Oregon residents who developed Cyclospora infections that may be linked to the ongoing multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak. Both individuals traveled to other states involved in the recent nationwide recall of pre-shredded iceberg lettuce associated with the outbreak. The risk to the public remains low. The products, voluntarily recalled July 17, were not reported to have been distributed in Oregon. Cyclospora is not spread directly from person to person. Oregon has not detected an unusual increase in the number of cyclosporiasis cases. Cyclosporiasis is reported in Oregon each year, though they’re not typically linked to a national outbreak and most cases report recent international travel. So far in 2026, 23 cyclosporiasis cases have been reported in Oregon, which is consistent with the number of cases reported in recent years: 26 cases in 2025, 30 cases in 2024, 10 cases in 2023, eight cases in 2022, and 14 cases in 2021. As the federal outbreak continues, additional cases linked to the outbreak are expected among people who recently traveled to affected areas, or as additional products may be identified as part of the nationwide outbreak. Oregon residents can reduce their risk of foodborne infections by following safe food handling practices, including washing hands and surfaces often, rinsing fresh produce thoroughly under running water before eating or preparing, and cooking foods to proper temperatures. OHA is not reporting demographic information about Oregon’s Cyclospora cases, including age, gender or counties of residence, to protect their confidentiality.

Emergency Conflagration Act in Jefferson & Harney Counties
OR State Fire Marshal release - SALEM, Ore. – The Emergency Conflagration Act was invoked for the Beachcomb and Bench fires late Saturday night and the Second Flat Fire on Sunday. The Oregon State Fire Marshal is assigning an incident management team and resources to the Beachcomb and Bench fires on the Warm Springs Reservation and Jefferson County and the Second Flat Fire in Harney County.

Emergency Conflagration Act Invoked for Crook & Jefferson Counties
OR State Fire Marshal release - SALEM, Ore. – On Friday evening, the Emergency Conflagration Act was invoked for the Crosswhite West Fire to protect the community of Marks Creek in Crook County. The Oregon State Fire Marshal has assigned its Red Incident Management Team and structural task forces. The team will work in unified command with the Oregon Department of Forestry Team 3. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the area through Saturday because of critical fire weather conditions of strong winds and warm temperatures, which will likely contribute to extreme fire behavior. “The forecast remains extremely concerning as we head into the weekend. East of the Cascades is expecting temperatures in the 90s, with gusty winds,” State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said. “It is imperative that Oregonians and visitors be aware of the extreme fire danger, know the evacuations levels, and to follow any order issued by law enforcement.” Overnight Thursday, the Crosswhite Fire merged with the Box Springs Fire. The Crosswhite fire in Crook, Jefferson, and Wheeler counties has been divided into two zones, the Crosswhite West and Crosswhite East, with the Wheeler County line serving as the dividing point. Updates for the Wheeler County portion of the fire will continue to be posted on the Rowe Creek Complex Fire Information page, while updates for the Crook County and Jefferson County portion will be available on the Brewer Fire Information page. This is the seventh time the Emergency Conflagration Act has been invoked in 2026. It is also the seventh time the act has been invoked this month.

Emergency Conflagration Act Invoked in Grant/Wheeler Counties
OR State Fire Marshal release - SALEM, Ore. – On Saturday afternoon, the Emergency Conflagration Act was invoked for the Shingle Fire in Grant and Wheeler counties. The Oregon State Fire Marshal is mobilizing its Blue Incident Management Team and resources to protect nearby communities from the fast-moving fire. The Shingle Fire, 14 miles southeast of Mitchell, is estimated at 21,849 acres and is growing rapidly. Because of the fire’s growth, Crook, Grant, and Wheeler counties have issued varying levels of evacuations. For updated information, visit the Wheeler County Sheriff's Office, Grant County Emergency Management, and Crook County Sheriff's Office pages. The National Weather Service has Red Flag Warnings in place for much of Oregon east of the Cascades through Saturday. Several fires across the state have seen rapid growth because of tinder dry conditions coupled with gusty winds. “The conditions we are seeing across Oregon remain extremely concerning,” State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said. “We are using every available tool at our disposal to protect communities threatened by wildfire. While our firefighters work around the clock, we’re asking Oregonians to do what they can to prevent sparking any new fires.” The Oregon State Fire Marshal has 37 task forces and strike teams assigned to six incidents across the state, including resources from California and Washington. This is the eighth time the Emergency Conflagration Act has been invoked in 2026, all occurring in July.

Wildfires are impacting multiple highways east of the Cascades; travelers should stay alert for changing conditions
ODOT release - SALEM – Wildfires in Oregon are causing widespread travel impacts on several highways, notably U.S. 20 and U.S. 26 between central and eastern Oregon. Wildfires can change direction or grow quickly, causing roads to open or close with little notice. Travelers, including motor carriers, are encouraged to carefully plan their routes, stay alert for changing conditions, and check TripCheck.com for current road conditions, closures and delays. ODOT staff are working around the clock staffing road closures, setting up traffic control, piloting traffic when possible, assessing damage, coordinating with emergency responders and working to reopen highways as soon as it is safe to do so. Travelers can help protect firefighters, emergency responders, transportation crews and others by obeying all road closures, flaggers and traffic control devices. Stay out of closed areas and do not go behind closure barricades. Be cautious of emergency vehicles and equipment entering and existing fire camps. ODOT only closes a highway when necessary for public safety or to allow firefighters and emergency crews to work safely from or along the road. As soon as it is safe, crews will reopen roads. Be aware that highways may reopen before damage is repaired. Travelers should expect burned areas to have missing signs, damaged guardrail or other damaged roadside infrastructure until crews can safely return to make repairs. If you must travel, plan ahead and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. Check TripCheck.com before leaving and throughout your trip, especially if traveling through central or eastern Oregon. It will have more up to date information than GPS which may direct you onto forest service roads or other routes that aren’t suitable for highway traffic. Remember that smoke can reduce visibility quickly, making it difficult to see other vehicles, emergency responders and hazards. Slow down, increase following distance and use extra caution when driving through smoky areas. Power outages near fires may also affect traffic signals and other transportation systems, so treat dark signals as four-way stops and watch for changing traffic patterns. This is already an incredibly difficult wildfire season for many Oregon communities. Families have been evacuated, people have lost power and road closures have disrupted daily life. We appreciate the patience and understanding of Oregonians as firefighters, emergency responders and road crews across the state continue working to protect lives, communities and critical transportation routes.

ODF Brings in Incident Management Team from Florida for East Evans Ck. Fire
OR Dept. of Forestry release - Salem, Ore. – A complex incident management team (CIMT) from Florida will take over command of the East Evans Creek Fire in the Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) Southwest Oregon District Monday at 6 a.m. ODF mobilized the CIMT from Florida through a state-to-state mutual aid agreement. The Florida team will replace ODF CIMT 1, which has been managing the incident and making hard-earned progress toward containment for two weeks. “These agreements create a reciprocal cache of resources that bolster the complete and coordinated fire protection system across North America,” Explained Michael Curran, ODF’s Fire Protection Division Chief. “In times when resources within our state are strained, it’s nice to have the support of our partner states.” Through these agreements—including Alaska, Hawaii and NW Canadian provinces and territories—states can share resources with one another, creating a larger, more comprehensive fire management system than any one state could have on its own. This is the first incident management team that ODF has ordered through these agreements this year, but this isn’t Florida’s first time assisting Oregon in wildfire suppression. Over the years, individual resources from Florida have been mobilized to Oregon to help fill specific positions as needed. So far this season, ODF has received resources from eight states so far this season, including: Minnesota, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, California, Alabama, Tennessee, Nevada. The Florida CIMT is committed to managing the East Evans Creek Fire for a standard assignment, which is 14 days. After 6 a.m. Monday, ODF CIMT 1 members will return home and have two mandatory rest days before being available for assignment again.

OHA urges people to limit smoke exposure as wildfire season intensifies
Health officials concerned about poor air quality, effects on sensitive populations as blazes rage across Oregon What you should know: Wildfire season is creating hazardous air quality conditions across Oregon. Wildfire smoke contains particles that can irritate eyes, lungs, and other organs and have a severe impact on people with chronic conditions. People can stay safe by keeping windows and doors closed, using HEPA filters if available, and avoiding outdoor activity. PORTLAND, Ore.—With nearly 80 wildfires burning across Oregon, air quality is poor in many areas of the state. But there are steps people can take to protect themselves and their loved ones from wildfire smoke exposure. “Smoke from wildfires can travel hundreds or thousands of miles, and some people—especially those with chronic conditions like lung disease or heart disease—can have a pretty severe reaction to even small amounts of smoke,” said Gabriela Goldfarb, manager of the Environmental Public Health Section at Oregon Health Authority’s Public Health Division.

UPDATE: U.S. Coast Guard, partner agencies respond to seaplane crash on Sucia Island, Washington
USCG release - SEATTLE — The U.S. Coast Guard along with the U.S. Navy, Canadian Coast Guard , and local partner agencies responded to a seaplane crash in Shallow Bay on Sucia Island Marine State Park, Thursday. All 11 passengers are accounted for and have been transported to the following locations: Four people were transported by a San Juan County Sheriff’s boat to Peace Island Medical Center in Friday Harbor. One person was transported to Orcas Island by a Washington State Park Ranger boat. They were later transported by Airlift Northwest to Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon. Three people were transported by U.S. Coast Guard Station Bellingham’s 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew to Station Bellingham where they were met by Bellingham Fire Department emergency medical services (EMS). One person was transported by the San Juan Island fireboat to Coast Guard Station Bellingham where they were also met by Bellingham Fire Department EMS. One person was hoisted from the San Juan County Sheriff’s boat to an Air Station Port Angeles MH-65 Dolphin helicopter. The helicopter transported the patient to St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Bellingham. One person was transported by Airlift Northwest to St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Bellingham. For information regarding patient status, contact the respective medical facility. A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter from Station SAR Whidbey Island also provided support by delivering backboards to first responders, standing by for additional medevacs and assisting with airspace deconfliction. Before first responders arrived, good Samaritans and medical professionals boating in the area conducted several rescues, assisted with triaging injured passengers and provided stable platforms for emergency personnel to treat patients. “I want to extend my deepest gratitude for the extraordinary interagency cooperation and response during yesterday’s seaplane crash near Sucia Island,” said Cmdr. Beau C. Belanger, commanding officer at Air Station Port Angeles. “Thanks to the rapid coordination between our federal, local, and state agencies, alongside several critical good Samaritans, we successfully rescued and transported patients for medical evaluation and treatment.” The aircraft was removed from the site on Friday by salvage contractors hired by Kenmore Air. The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Blue Shark (WPB-87360) and the San Juan County Sheriff’s Marine Unit were on scene during the operation to ensure the safety and security of the scene. Officials reported no significant threat to the environment. A small, unrecoverable sheen was observed. The plane was carrying approximately 100 gallons of fuel. There is no resulting hazard to marine navigation. Questions regarding the investigation can be referred to the National Transportation Safety Board.

Impersonating Law Enforcement
OSP release - CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. (24 July 2026) – The Oregon State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating a report of individuals impersonating law enforcement officers in Clackamas County and is asking for the public's assistance. On Friday, July 17, 2026, between approximately 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., the victim was driving on Highway 211 near milepost 5, east of Woodburn, when they observed a vehicle displaying red and blue emergency-style lights behind them. Believing they were being stopped by law enforcement, the victim pulled over onto a gravel turnout. Two men exited the suspect vehicle, one of whom was armed with a rifle. The suspects identified themselves as "ICE" and told the victim they were being detained. The victim was forcibly removed from their vehicle, searched, and placed into the back seat of the suspects' vehicle. A third individual, who remained in the vehicle and was described as acting as a "guard," assaulted the victim while they were detained. After approximately 15 to 20 minutes, the suspects released the victim and told them they were free to leave. The suspects were described as wearing boots, baseball caps, face coverings, and green long-sleeve shirts. They wore tactical vests displaying “POLICE” in white lettering and carried badges marked “Police.” The suspect vehicle was described as a newer model smaller SUV, blue or gray in color, with no visible license plates. The victim later sought medical treatment for injuries sustained during the incident. While at an area hospital, the victim began receiving text messages from a phone number claiming to represent a law firm offering legal representation related to the incident. The messages originated from phone number 971-502-5548. OSP investigators have contacted federal law enforcement agencies, who confirmed the individuals involved were not federal officers. Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area of Hwy. 211 near South Barlow Road on July 17, or anyone who may have encountered individuals posing as law enforcement officers, is asked to contact the Oregon State Police. Investigators are also interested in hearing from anyone who has received similar communications from the phone number 971-502-5548. Anyone with information is asked to contact OSP dispatch at 800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Please reference case number SP26-237961.
