Emergency Conflagration Act Invoked in Klamath Co.
OR State Fire Marshal release - SALEM, Ore. – The Emergency Conflagration Act was invoked Friday morning for the Wrights Spring Fire burning southeast of Chiloquin in Klamath County. The Oregon State Fire Marshal is mobilizing its Green Incident Management Team and six structural task forces. Two of the task forces were prepositioned in Douglas County ahead of forecasted increase in fire danger. The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office has issued level 1 and 2 evacuation notices for the area. Those looking for information about evacuations can follow the sheriff’s office on social media or check the county’s emergency management website. The Wrights Spring Fire was reported on August 5 in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The fire grew rapidly overnight pushed by extremely dry and windy conditions. As of Friday morning, it was estimated to be 8,722 acres and 0 percent contained. Federal wildland firefighters and air resources are working to slow the fire. “We have been working with the local fire agencies and interagency partners since this incident was first reported,” Assistant Chief Deputy Mariah Rawlins said. “This fire has seen extreme growth and at the request of the fire defense board chief and county commissioner we are immediately engaging.” The National Weather Service has heat advisories in place for the region. Red Flag Warnings have been issued for the Lower Columbia River Basin. Oregonians and visitors should pay attention to these conditions and take steps to prevent sparking an unintended wildfire. The Oregon State Fire Marshal Green Incident Management Team will be in unified command with Northwest Team 8. This is the 12th time the Emergency Conflagration Act has been invoked in 2026.

Illegal Marijuana Grow, Hubbard
OSP release - MARION COUNTY, Ore. (7 August 2026) – In the early morning hours of August 7, 2026, the Linn Interagency Narcotics Enforcement (LINE) team, an interagency HIDTA drug task force based in Linn County, in collaboration with the Oregon State Police, Marion County Sheriff’s Office and the West Side Interagency Narcotics (WIN) team, served two search warrants connected to illegal marijuana growing operations on two properties near Hubbard. During the operation, several individuals were identified as potential victims of labor trafficking and had allegedly been forced to work at the sites. The individuals were given on-site access to resources through Safety Compass, a local non-profit that provides support to victims of human trafficking. In addition to hygiene kits and emergency food, Safety Compass offered on-site interpreters, confidential advocacy, and connections to resources such as shelter, legal assistance, and victim services, as well as other culturally specific services based on individual needs. Individuals reported poor living conditions and restrictions on leaving the property. Many reported coming to the properties under the assumption of legal work and said they had received unofficial work contracts. Of the 17 individuals contacted as part of the investigation, 16 adults were released without charges. One adult male suspect was cited in lieu of custody for possession of cocaine, and charges of unlawful manufacture of marijuana will be referred to the Marion County District Attorney’s Office. Additional referrals to the District Attorney’s Office include charges against another adult male for unlawful manufacture of marijuana, as well as two property owners for conspiracy to unlawfully manufacture marijuana. Investigators seized approximately 47,595 marijuana plants, 80 pounds of processed marijuana, a small amount of cocaine, and nine firearms between the two locations. Superintendent Casey Codding said, “It is deplorable for anyone to be forced to work against their will. Labor trafficking is often intertwined with other forms of illegal activity. Our priority is the safety and well-being of potential victims.” When troopers encounter signs of labor trafficking, OSP works with qualified partners to connect individuals voluntarily with advocacy, services, and other available resources. OSP is coordinating with the Oregon Department of Human Services and victim-service partners to support voluntary connections to available services and resources. The operation was conducted in keeping with Oregon’s Sanctuary Promise laws, which prohibit law enforcement from participating in federal immigration enforcement efforts. This remains an active investigation, and no additional details are available for release at this time. For 24/7 confidential help finding resources or to report human trafficking, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “INFO” to 233733. In northwest Oregon, Safety Compass also offers a 24/7 confidential hotline at 971-235-0021.

Sports

High School Officials
As more boys & girls turn out for their high school sports teams, the call for more officials always follows. That’s the situation along the Oregon Coast. Top to bottom, the need for Prep Officials in all sports is great. This coming Fall, the beginning of the new school year, there will be football games, volleyball matches, soccer matches and cross-country runs. All need officials. There is no age limit, just a heart to give back to your prep sports community. Best part, you’ll have a view of the unfolding action right before your eyes and get paid as well! Veteran’s take note, using the Mike Pereira “Battlefields to Ballfields Program, all of your training, clothing and even the whistle, can be paid for. “What started as a small pilot program in California has grown into a national movement, transforming the lives of over 2,500 veterans across 45 states. Our mission remains unchanged: to honor military service by creating new opportunities for veterans to serve their communities.” For more information about being an OSAA Official for any sport, FB, VB, SC, BXB, go to their website: www.osaa.org/officials/registration, and for more information about the SW Oregon Football Association, contact SWOFA Commissioner, Glenn Koepnick at [email protected].
