There have been many notable wildfires in the history of the US state of [[Oregon]].
==Background== "Fire season" in Oregon typically begins in mid-May and ends with the first rains that normally begins in late September. [[Drought]], [[snowpack]] levels, and local weather conditions play a role in Oregon's fire season, particularly in [[Eastern Oregon|Eastern]] and Southwest Oregon. During peak fire season from July to September, most wildfires are caused by [[lightning]], while ignitions in the early and later parts of the season are related to humans. Warm, dry conditions in summer heighten the wildfire risk. After over 100 years of fire suppression and prevention of all fires, there is now an abundance of fuel. [[Climate change]] is leading to a reduced snowpack with an earlier and reduced [[snowmelt]], so there is a higher risk for areas that receive wildfires.<ref>{{cite web |title=Oregon Fire Season: In-Depth Guide |url=https://wfca.com/wildfire-articles/oregon-fire-season/ |website=wfca.com |publisher=Western Fire Chiefs Association |access-date=June 7, 2025}}</ref>
