A Joint Emergency Operation Center including Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office, Umatilla County Emergency Management, Union County Sheriff’s Office, Union County Emergency Management and Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) remain actively engaged with the Incident Management Team 6 for Hagen Fire.
The fire continues to expand across the North Fork of the Umatilla River, and we are committed to ensuring that all residents remain informed and prepared as conditions evolve.
