Sounds like they've probably got this mostly handled at this point, not a lot of traffic aside from air attack (just went back to base to check on oil pressure reading). I'm off this feed for now, sounds like it's not as much of a concern at the exact moment (yay!). 8/7/26 1442PT #HiddenForestFire #wildfires #ORwx

Last 2 drops from C-130 before refuel are going on east side of highway on a couple of stands of timber, before he leaves. He will fuel and return. 8/7/26 1435PT #HiddenForestFire #wildfires #ORwx

About 30 minutes more left on aircraft, they are asking the C130 to bolster any line they think is necessary. They have cancelled relief air attack (no need).

Sounds like they are holding off for now, incident commander will give it thought if they will need air attack replacement, can re-deploy if needed. 8/7/26 1428PT #HiddenForestFire #wildfires #ORwx

Relief plane come out at 1500, but they don't think they will need them (due to the amount of control on the fire). #HiddenForestFire #wildfires #ORwx

All aircraft off fire except one C-130 and air attack. "Everything looking good", two to three pockets of fire. "Fire has stopped growing as long as you keep working like you're working" #HiddenForestFire #wildfires #ORwx

To track air attack... https://globe.adsb.fi/?icao=a16975

C130 currently dropping. N190PE is Air Attack.
-
Looks like the evac dropped around 2 hours ago (time in the list is UTC, not PDT)
Air Attack can currently be heard on the local radio feed... Dropping phoscheck at the moment.

Listening for a bit on Hidden Forest Fire, south of Bend, Oregon. #HiddenForestFire #wildfires #ORwx

Today on the webzone I now have weather alert maps for the Pacific Northwest, Columbia Basin, and Portland area updating every ten minutes.
These maps pull directly from the National Weather Service and package it in a way that I find to be more visually appealing than the NWS website.

As always please let me know what you think!
It may be a while before I get the next set of images up. I am traveling for work for the next week or so but I have some more stuff coming including real-time lightning maps and other things.

OPB: Wildfire smoke becomes a regular occurrence across Oregon, as residents learn to adapt

All the fire names... Zoom in for perimeters.

All the fire cameras for Oregon on that page, as well

btw, the Oregon Wildfire Dashboard has all of the Oregon wildfire evacuations.
Fortunately, the Oregon Office of Emergency Management decided the last few years to create a statewide evacuation data layer to make it easier for counties to post and share evacuations and to track what's going on, realizing the wildfire risks were rapidly rising, so they have this database here.

Just booted up @oregon_evac_bot for Oregon evacuation signals (not official evacuation notices, but will post when a new evacuation zone shows up on the Oregon Wildfire Dashboard... so folks can go look at what's going on).

I got my new PurpleAir sensor today and have set it outside. Currently reading a US AQI of 194.
Maybe I'll start calling my house the Ingalls Earth Observatory.
