You might want to start thinking about the option to turn your tags in. That whole unit might be charcoal here in the next few days.I wonder how many calls WDFW will have to make to find someone to take the ones turned in..

I would be surprised if they even tried. The won't get any extra revenue and someone would take the tag without knowing and then they would have to deal with the complaints. Much easier to just throw the permits in the garbage.

That was an excellent presentation.
Sounds like holding the line at FR40 should be doable, especially with west winds predicted for tomorrow I believe. However, I hope that doesnt drive it on the east flank.

(News release from the Forest Service)
With persistent extreme hot and dry conditions, active large wildfires, limited firefighting resources and concern for public safety, forest officials have temporarily closed the entirety of the Umatilla National Forest effective immediately.
The objective of the closure is to proactively protect public and firefighter safety as the Forest continues to actively suppress large wildfires on the Forest, while also responding to new smoke reports. Hot and dry conditions have challenged firefighters in suppression efforts battling the Lick Creek and Green Ridge Fires on the Pomeroy Ranger District. Additionally, on July 15 the Elbow Creek Fire emerged on the Walla Walla Ranger District, rapidly growing and threatening nearby communities. Overnight, humidity levels have remained extremely low, allowing fires to spread actively. These conditions have created an unprecedented potential for extreme fire spread and intensity. With three active large wildfires on the Umatilla National Forest, compounded by multiple active large wildfires burning across the region, firefighting resources are stretched. Forest officials have implemented the closure for public and firefighter safety.
A full Forest closure means that the public is prohibited from entering any part of Umatilla National Forest at any time, including National Forest lands, roads, trails and recreational facilities. Access on county, state or federal roadways will still be open.
Forest Service personnel will attempt to reach as many people as possible to begin vacating campsites and informing individuals who are camping in the Forest currently. The public should cancel any plans for visiting the Umatilla National Forest for the next several weeks. This is a temporary closure and the Forest will continually assess conditions and lift the closure once the unprecedented conditions moderate.
Violating closures and fire restrictions is a violation that carries a mandatory appearance in federal court, punishable as a Class B misdemeanor with a fine of up to $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or up to six months in prison, or both.
A detailed map and description of the closure area is available on the Forest website and at any Forest office. Closure barriers and signs will be posted on the ground.

My wife's family. They're in the outskirts of Pomeroy and are fine. It was a little questionable a week or so ago but that didn't last long.

What’s the likelihood of wdfw keeping the 4-0 area closed into September?
And I hear about people turning back in their tags and the arguments that follow, but how does that work? My dad won’t turn his tag in but I’m curious. Is it literally you just turn your tag back in and you get your points back?
