🎄🎄🎄Happy Holidays to you and yours from the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest! 🎄🎄🎄

Our offices are closed Monday, December. 25th for Christmas. Stay safe and warm this holiday season!

Happy #FieldWorkFriday ! This week we traveled to SW Oregon to fix outages on the Red Mound and Bosley Butte cameras. We also checked on the Butler Mountain camera (pictured)! We deployed this temporary camera on behalf of the USDA Forest Service so they could monitor the #AnvilFire .

Smoke from the Anvil Fire is visible as heavy fuels continue to burn in the interior. There is no threat to containment and no anticipated growth, and monitoring is ongoing. Smoldering will likely continue through the winter in heavy interior timber. #AnvilFire2023
