2026 Oregon wildfire resources & Ways to help
Oregon is again experiencing a devastating wildfire season, and from firefighters and EMS to farmers and families, working class people are baring the brunt of the impacts. We currently have over 86 fires — the most fires in the nation - and a record-breaking two million acres burned across the state. Over 33,000 Oregonians are enduring evacuations, home losses, water and power shortages, and destruction of crops, livestock, and critical infrastructure. These dire consequences of our climate crisis and underfunding of wildfire prevention and mitigation are why we must push for stronger protections for working people and the land we live on, prioritize funding our fire agencies, and center working class voices when discussing the environmental future of our state.
