Preparatory or “prep” burning is scheduled today for registered growers in the Silverton, Stayton and Sublimity Fire Districts from 12:00 – 2:00 pm today.

Before field burning permits are issued, multiple weather conditions are monitored by the department in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Forestry Weather Office. PiBals or Pilot Balloons are one tool that is used – these balloons mimic the path smoke may take when released into the atmosphere. ODA staff use a theodolite to take measurements of wind speed, direction, and visibility as the balloon rises and uses this information to inform field burning decisions. PiBals are conducted before open burning occurs and are used throughout the burn day to continually monitor weather conditions.

🔔 Update: as of 1:00pm, test fires are being conducted in the Silverton, Stayton, and Sublimity area this afternoon with the possibility of open field burning to follow. There also is a possibility of other test fires in surrounding fire districts.
