Oregon Wildfire, Smoke, and Air Quality Map
Most of Oregon's large fire activity happens east of the Cascade crest and in the southwest corner of the state, and smoke from those fires regularly reaches the rest of the state. This page tracks the live layers that matter for Oregon conditions.

Fire season and landscape
Fire season typically peaks July through September. Southwest Oregon's Rogue and Umpqua drainages and the dry forests of central Oregon carry much of the large-fire load in most years.
The Deschutes, Umpqua, Willamette, and Rogue River-Siskiyou national forests anchor a fire environment that ranges from wet coastal timber to sagebrush steppe. Valley inversions in the Rogue and Willamette valleys can hold smoke for days after the fires that produced it have quieted.
- Oregon's wildfire perimeters arrive via the national WFIGS feed, covering both federal and ODF-protected lands.
- The smoke layer's NOAA analysis is the quickest way to see whether Willamette Valley haze is local or drifting in from California.
- River gauges and SNOTEL stations across the Cascades feed the map's water and snowpack layers year round.
