'Hotter and drier' June may worsen wildfire outlook, Oregon Department of Forestry says

MOSIER, Ore. (KOIN) — As the wildfire season continues to grow, Oregon state and federal officials provided an update Friday morning on what residents can expect heading into summer.

Those talks come after the state saw a handful of brush fires this week, with some even sparking evacuations.

In Mosier, the earth was left scorched following the Cherry Hill fire on Wednesday. Oregon Department of Forestry said crews will continue to monitor until there is no more heat or smoke.
