National forests across Oregon were shut to the public as more than 3,500 firefighters battled widespread fires in five states. Low humidity and dry conditions created extreme fire hazards, with lookout and air patrols limited by poor visibility. Western Oregon saw about 200 fires, threatening timber stands and settlements along several creeks and counties. Washington’s Olympia area faced the Duckabush fire as crews arrived from Seattle to reinforce a 165-man line.
