Firefighters made significant progress over the weekend on two large wildfires burning in Oregon.

The Rowena Fire started near The Dalles last Wednesday and quickly grew to more than 3,000 acres by Thursday. The perimeter has not grown much since then.
Crews said Monday morning the perimeter of the fire was about 24% contained.
The fire destroyed at least 56 homes, and more than 130 were still threatened. As of Monday morning, more than 300 people were still under Level 3 — Go Now! — evacuation orders. Nearly 6,000 nearby residents remained under Level 1 and Level 2 evacuation orders.
Morning operation briefing for June 16th
Morning Operations Update – Rowena Fire – June 16, 2025
This morning’s operational briefing shares the latest on the Rowena Fire, including completed work, progress made, and today’s priorities for crews.
Firefighters remain focused on protecting homes, strengthening containment lines, mopping up, patrolling, and ensuring public safety.
Yesterday’s Strategic Firing Operation* to eliminate green pockets of unburned fuel was successful. Smoke from that operation may continue to be visible to nearby areas, including the Dalles, and I-84.
Watch the full update to hear directly from incident leadership and stay informed on what to expect throughout the day.
*Strategic firing operation- often referred to as “firing operations” in wildfire management, involve the deliberate use of fire by fire management teams to achieve specific objectives during wildfire suppression or management efforts. These operations are carefully planned and executed to control or contain wildfires, reduce hazardous fuels loads, and protect structures.
Posted by Rowena Fire 2025 on Monday, June 16, 2025
The Ferry Fire, which started in Sherman County on Thursday, grew to more than 9,000 acres by the following day. It has only grown slightly since then. It was estimated at just under 10,500 acres on Monday morning. But the fire perimeter was nearly 80% contained.
In both cases, additional firefighting resources were mobilized to help local crews fight the fires. Those outside firefighting teams will begin to demobilize from both fires on Monday and return to their home crews.
The forecast appears to be more favorable for firefighters near the Rowena and Ferry fires this week. Temperatures in both areas are expected to stay in the 70s through Thursday, and highs in the 60s on Friday could give way to a chance of showers next weekend.

PacifiCorp proposal aims to shield Central Oregon customers from large energy user costs
CENTRAL OREGON (KTVZ) — New rules approved by Oregon regulators aimed at how utilities charge large energy users are expected to have implications beyond Portland General Electric, including for Central Oregon customers served by Pacific Power.
The Oregon Public Utility Commission approved changes allowing Portland General Electric to charge higher rates to large energy users such as data centers. The goal is to ensure those customers pay for the cost of expanding the power grid, rather than shifting those costs onto smaller or household ratepayers.
The move comes after six consecutive years of rate increases for Oregon customers, driven in part by what PGE describes as an unprecedented rise in electricity demand, with data centers as a major factor.
Under the new rules, large energy use facilities must pay 100% of the cost to expand distribution systems needed to serve them. They must also use at least 90% of their contracted power capacity, with requirements for contract lengths and penalties for exceeding usage or exiting early.
The rules define large energy users as facilities capable of drawing more than 20 megawatts of power at a time. A separate category for “very large loads” — those exceeding 100 megawatts — includes a 1 cent per kilowatt-hour surcharge, with funds going toward reducing energy burden for vulnerable customers.
The order also includes a queue system to ensure new large users can only connect when enough zero-emission energy is available to meet demand under House Bill 2021.
While the decision directly applies to PGE, Pacific Power is proposing a similar approach for customers in Central Oregon.
PacifiCorp exclusively sent a statement to KTVZ News, saying utilities have seen a growing number of extremely large new load requests in recent years, requiring significant investments in transmission and generation infrastructure.
The company has filed a proposed tariff with the Oregon Public Utility Commission under House Bill 3546 to create a new rate schedule for “New Large Energy Use Facilities.” Under the proposal, large energy users such as data centers would be required to cover the costs of infrastructure upgrades needed to serve them.
PacifiCorp said the approach would allow the utility to meet the needs of large energy users while continuing to invest in infrastructure and protecting affordability for other customer classes.
PGE has until June 3 to file a new pricing system to implement the order, which would take effect June 10. The utility is also required to begin annual reporting on large energy users starting June 1, 2027.

Federal and state agencies urge caution as fire season begins in parts of Oregon
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon Department of Forestry is asking Oregonians to be careful when disposing of yard debris this spring.

“There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026,” the agency said.
The agency said that at this time last year, it had responded to 37 escaped burns.
“More than 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human-caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list,” ODF said. “With record-low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual.”
The Central Oregon District of ODF has already declared the start of fire season.
On May 14, fire restrictions will go into effect for all Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington.
“We are increasingly concerned that 2026 could rival the most extreme years on record for heat and dryness in the Pacific Northwest,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, assistant chief of operations for the Pacific Northwest, U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “Every visitor must understand that even one small spark can lead to a costly and destructive fire in these high-impact conditions.”
Officials say the restrictions will help reduce the risk of human-caused fires. BLM officials say anyone who violates the prohibition could be fined up to $100,000 and/or face up to 12 months in prison.
More information on fire season is available on the ODF website.
The Bureau of Land Management website has additional information on fire restrictions and closures.
