Oregon Emergency Coordination Center Activates to Level 3
News Release from Oregon Dept. of Emerg. Management - SALEM, Ore.-- The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) has activated the State Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) to Level 3 (Regional Response) in response to a winter storm forecasted to impact much of Western Oregon from the evening of Feb. 12 through Feb. 14. The National Weather Service predicts a strong potential for snow and freezing rain, which may lead to treacherous travel conditions, road closures, power outages, and the need for temporary warming shelters. Multiple jurisdictional emergency operations centers across the state are activated, and OEM is coordinating with local, Tribal and state partners to monitor impacts and support response efforts as needed. The Level 3 activation allows OEM to maintain situational awareness, facilitate information-sharing and support resource requests from local jurisdictions. People in Oregon are urged to take precautions during the storm: Stay informed: Check local weather forecasts and sign up for emergency alerts through ORalert.gov. View the latest Hazard Situation Overview for real-time impacts and response efforts. Avoid travel if possible: Roads may become hazardous due to ice and snow. If travel is necessary, carry an emergency kit, chains, and extra supplies. If you do need to leave the house: Check TripCheck.com to know the latest road conditions, and make sure you are caring a shovel and have an emergency car kit. Read more about how to prepare for winter driving on the OEM blog. Prepare for power outages: Have flashlights, batteries, and a backup heat source ready. Never use generators or grills indoors due to carbon monoxide risks. Check on neighbors: Ensure vulnerable individuals have what they need to stay safe and warm. Know where to go to get warm: Warming shelters are listed at Oregon 211. Sign up to receive the latest news directly from OEM.

Best bets for weekend fishing
ODFW release- The cold, snowy weather has made fishing even more challenging – but not impossible! Think twice about winter steelhead right now. There are fish around and river conditions can be good, but fish haven't been biting in the cold water temperatures. Do some studying. The ODFW YouTube channel has dozens of where-to and how-to steelhead fishing videos. Find a new tip to try when the water conditions improve. Think smaller. Native redband trout in eastside rivers, or holdover hatchery trout in lower elevation reservoirs can offer a challenging and rewarding alternative when steelhead fishing is slow. Snow may be limiting access in some areas, so check the zone reports before you go. Pull out the snowmobile suit – it's the perfect cold-weather costume for ice fishing. The sustained cold temperatures have improved ice conditions at several locations. If you venture out, be sure to follow these ice fishing safety tips from the Minnesota DNR – where they know a bit about ice. Consider an ocean charter. When ocean conditions permit, bottomfishing can be very good during the winter. And anglers continue to average at least one lingcod per trip.
Hwy. 395 Fatal, Umatilla Co.
UMATILLA COUNTY, Ore. 13 Feb. 2025 -- On Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025, at 2:22 p.m., Oregon State Police (OSP) responded to a three-vehicle crash on Hwy. 395 near Hermiston. The preliminary investigation indicated a black Ford Ranger, operated by Hector Singleterry (62) of Hermiston, was traveling southbound on Hwy. 395 near milepost 3.5 when it gradually crossed the special turn lane into the northbound travel lanes. The vehicle crossed both northbound lanes and went off the highway, colliding with a parked unoccupied white Chevy Express van. The Chevy van then struck a parked white Chevy Cobalt with two occupants. The Ford operator (Singleterry) is believed to have experienced a medical emergency. CPR was attempted without success and Singleterry was declared deceased at the scene. The occupants of the Chevy Cobalt were not injured. The highway was not impacted during the on-scene investigation. OSP was assisted by the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office, Umatilla County Fire District 1, and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Local law enforcement also responded to an unknown number of crashes. The total number of vehicles involved is not known at this time.

NBFD Burn to Learn Exercise
City of North Ben release - Firefighters with North Bend Fire & Rescue took part in a live fire training exercise this week, utilizing Palmer Fire Behavior Dollhouse props to enhance their understanding of fire dynamics and emergency response. The department recently constructed seven Palmer Fire Behavior props, designed by Captain Matt Palmer, to provide hands-on training opportunities. During the drill, firefighters observed and analyzed critical fire behavior elements, including fire flow path, stages of fire development, flashover, smoke explosions, and backdrafts. “These props allow us to simulate real-world fire conditions in a controlled environment, helping our firefighters refine their skills and improve response strategies,” said North Bend Fire Chief Jim Brown. The training received support from Chief PJ Norwood and Lieutenant Sean Gray of Stop Believing Start Knowing, a fire education and training initiative dedicated to improving firefighter safety and knowledge. Beyond North Bend, other local fire departments and Fire Science programs have also utilized these props to enhance regional training efforts. “Collaboration among fire agencies strengthens our ability to protect the communities we serve,” Brown said. “Ongoing training like this ensures our teams stay prepared and equipped for real emergency scenarios.” For more information about North Bend Fire & Rescue or fire safety training, visit [northbendoregon.us/contact]northbendoregon.us/contact.

The fire department also secured more than $725,000 in grants in 2024, funding critical equipment, training, and infrastructure improvements. Mitts provided updates on the North Bend Police Department, including recent grant awards that have supported department initiatives and strengthened public safety efforts.
