Oregon Department Of Forestry Using Aircraft With Special Cameras To Spot Fires

CENTRAL OREGON  -- The hot dry weather is keeping Oregon Department of Forestry staff busy. Information Officer Christie Shaw says they’ve attacked three lightning caused fires since Monday. She says they attacked them and kept them from making a wide spread. Shaw says the fires ranged from one-tenth of an acre to four acres. She says they’re using an aircraft that’s equipped with infra-red and Electro-Optical cameras to help them spot fires before smoke is visible. Shaw urges the public to quickly report any fires they see.
