(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Department of Forestry is working to pay past-due bills for the summer's wildfire season. The record setting wildfire season depleted funds for fighting the fires. The Oregon Legislature met in special session earlier this month and approved 191-million-dollars. Since then the Department of Forestry has paid 88-million-dollars in bills. Wildfire seasons are growing more costly and they want the Legislature to come up with a better way to raise more money to pay the higher expenses.
