There are 13 wildfires still burning in Oregon, but most are either fully or mostly contained. We're coming off the most expensive fire season on record in Oregon, with almost half a million acres of National Forest land burned, 58 percent above average.
A good portion of that number comes from the Eagle Creek Fire, which is only 50 percent contained, but doesn't have firefighters as concerned as before.
"Whenever we have a large-scale fire event, something like the Chetco Bar or the Eagle Creek Fire, often the things that will put those fires out are what we call a season-ending event," Deschutes National Forest spokeswoman Kassidy Kern said Thursday. "That does mean a significant amount of snow or rain."
