Condon, Ore. — Fire crews are continuing in their mission of patrolling fire lines to ensure there are no risks to containment. Interior smokes are normal and will continue until season-ending precipitation in the form of rain or snow. These smokes represent no threat to the fire lines or fire containment and should not be reported.
Weather—A weather system has brought higher relative humidity levels and shading of fuels in the area. Today may bring very weak showers and the possibility of lightning or dry lightning. Tomorrow sees a 20% chance of isolated thunderstorms late in the day, but it is not expected to yield much moisture. No significant weather events are expected in the next few days.
Safety— Remember that fuels in the area such as grass and timber remain very dry and available to burn. Use caution with all open flame, spark hazards and overhead power lines. Check trailer chains carefully to make sure they will not drag. Operate small engines with spark arresters installed on the muffler. Do not park in high grass.
