Fire FAQs — Who owns Oregon's forests, and how does that matter when it comes to fire?

Lauren Grand, Carrie Berger, Stephen Fitzgerald and Dan Leavell
Publication cover
EM 9228
Oregon's wildfire landscape is clouded by the mix of public and private interests that control more than 30 million acres. Forests make up nearly half of Oregon, and most forests fall under federal management. Forest ownership factors into both the number of fires and the size to which they grow.

Fire FAQs—What is forest fuel, and what are fuel treatments?

Stephen Fitzgerald, Carrie Berger and Dan Leavell
Publication cover
EM 9230
Forest fuel is combustible biomass—everything from needles and twigs to shrubs, downed trees, and logs. Wildland fire managers reduce and rearrange fuel to reduce the probability of forest fires. Fuel treatments include thinning, prescribed burning, pruning, and mowing. A combination of treatments works best. Fuel treatments generally target dry forests.

Fire FAQs—What is fire severity?

Carrie Berger, Lauren Grand, Stephen Fitzgerald and Dan Leavell
EM 9222
Fire severity is a measure of the effects of fire on the environment—both in damage to vegetation and impacts on the soil. Fire severity is driven by weather conditions, the topography of the landscape, and the fuels that are present. Of these, weather is the overriding factor.
