Only two fires
broke out in Hood River County during the July 4 holiday.
But fire
officials caution that because of a dry, hot weekend forecast, fire danger
has climbed to an even higher level.
“We’ve gone
from a red flag watch to red flag warning,” said Jim Trammel, West Side
Fire Chief.
That means
regulated closures on Oregon Department of Forestry lands. For more

Fire officials
moved the danger up because of the weather forecast, which also includes
thunderstorms breaking along the ridge of the Cascade mountain range.
