[Drought](/source/Drought), [snowpack](/source/Snowpack) levels, and local weather conditions play a role in Oregon's fire season, particularly in [Eastern](/source/Eastern_Oregon) and Southwest Oregon. During peak fire season from July to September, most wildfires are caused by [lightning](/source/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](/source/Climate_change) is leading to a reduced snowpack with an earlier and reduced [snowmelt](/source/Snowmelt), so there is a higher risk for areas that receive wildfires.[1] ## List - 1902 - [Yacolt Burn](/source/Yacolt_Burn) - 1933–1951 - [Tillamook Burn](/source/Tillamook_Burn) 1933, 1939, 1945[2] - Bandon Fire (1936)[2] - 1966 - Oxbow Fire (August 1966, 42,000 acres) - 1996 - Simnasho[2] - Ashwood-Donnybrook fire[2] - 2000 - Jackson Fire[2] - 2001 - Lakeview Complex[2] - 2002 - [Biscuit Fire](/source/Biscuit_Fire) - Toolbox Complex fires[2] - 2003 - [B&B Complex fires](/source/B%26B_Complex_fires) - 2006 - South End Complex[2] - 2007 - Egley Complex[2] - 2009 - [Tumblebug Complex Fire](/source/Tumblebug_Complex_Fire) - 2011 - High Cascades Complex[2] - 2012 - [Barry Point Fire](/source/Barry_Point_Fire) - [Lava Fire](/source/Lava_Fire_(2012)) - [Long Draw Fire](/source/Long_Draw_Fire) - Holloway Fire[2] - Miller Homestead[2] - 2014 - Buzzard Complex[2] - [2015](/source/2015_Oregon_wildfires) - [2017](/source/2017_Oregon_wildfires) - [Chetco Bar Fire](/source/Chetco_Bar_Fire) - [Cinder Butte Fire](/source/Cinder_Butte_Fire) - [Eagle Creek Fire](/source/Eagle_Creek_Fire) - [High Cascades Complex fires](/source/High_Cascades_Complex_fires) - [Jones Fire](/source/Jones_Fire) - [Milli Fire](/source/Milli_Fire) - [Nash Fire](/source/Nash_Fire) - [Whitewater Fire](/source/Whitewater_Fire) - [2018](/source/2018_Oregon_wildfires) - [Boxcar Fire](/source/Boxcar_Fire) - [Graham Fire](/source/Graham_Fire) - [Jack Knife Fire](/source/Jack_Knife_Fire) - [Klamathon Fire](/source/Klamathon_Fire) - [Klondike Fire](/source/Klondike_Fire) - [Long Hollow Fire](/source/Long_Hollow_Fire) - [Miles Fire](/source/Miles_Fire) - [South Valley Fire](/source/South_Valley_Fire) - [Substation Fire](/source/Substation_Fire) - [Whitewater Fire](/source/Whitewater_Fire) - [2020](/source/2020_Oregon_wildfires) ([Western U.S.](/source/2020_Western_United_States_wildfire_season)) - [Holiday Farm Fire](/source/Holiday_Farm_Fire) - [Santiam Fire](/source/Santiam_Fire) - [Slater and Devil fires](/source/Slater_and_Devil_fires) - [2021](/source/2021_Oregon_wildfires) - [Bootleg Fire](/source/Bootleg_Fire) - [Jack Fire](/source/Jack_Fire) - [Joseph Canyon Fire](/source/Joseph_Canyon_Fire) - [2022](/source/2022_Oregon_wildfires) - [Cedar Creek Fire](/source/Cedar_Creek_Fire) - [2023](/source/2023_Oregon_wildfires) - [Flat Fire](/source/Flat_Fire) - [2024](/source/2024_Oregon_wildfires) - [Durkee Fire](/source/Durkee_Fire) - [2025](/source/2025_Oregon_wildfires) - [Cram Fire](/source/Cram_Fire) - [Flat Fire](/source/Flat_Fire_(2025)) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Oregon Fire Season: In-Depth Guide"](https://wfca.com/wildfire-articles/oregon-fire-season/). *wfca.com*.
