HAGEN FIRE: ALL REMAINING EVACUATION LEVELS LIFTED

(Umatilla County, Union County, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation)

September 16, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.

In another encouraging milestone, all remaining evacuation levels associated with the Hagen Fire in Umatilla County, Union County and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) are being lifted.

Effective at 11:00 a.m., all remaining Hagen Fire evacuation zones in the three jurisdictions will return to Normal status and will no longer be under an evacuation level.

With this change, there will be no remaining evacuation levels associated with the Hagen Fire in Umatilla County, Union County or CTUIR.

The decision reflects continued improvement in fire conditions and the work completed by firefighters and partner agencies throughout the incident.

While evacuation levels are being lifted, the U.S. Forest Service area closure remains in effect. Returning to Normal evacuation status does not mean closed National Forest lands are open to the public.

Residents and visitors should also remember that the absence of visible smoke does not mean all hazards are gone. Burned areas may still contain weakened or falling trees, rolling or falling rocks, pockets of remaining heat, unstable terrain, and firefighters or heavy equipment working in the area.

The removal of evacuation levels does not automatically lift separate road, land-management or area closures.

The lifting of the remaining Hagen Fire evacuation levels is an important milestone for the communities impacted by the fire. Emergency officials from Umatilla County, Union County, CTUIR and partner agencies will continue coordinating as needed.

With all Hagen Fire evacuation zones returning to Normal, routine evacuation-level updates associated with the Hagen Fire will conclude. If conditions change and additional public safety information is needed, updates will be provided.

We appreciate the cooperation and patience of residents throughout this incident.

September 16, 2026

At the Commission meeting this morning, the Union County Board of Commissioners voted to rescind the countywide burn ban and return to Regulated Use Fire Season, effective immediately.

The decision follows a recommendation from the Union County Fire Defense Board based on recent cooler temperatures and precipitation that have improved fire conditions. The Fire Defense Board also recommended extending the regulated use season through October 15, 2026.

Under Regulated Use Fire Season, recreational fires are permitted and burn barrels may be used during specified hours, provided all requirements of Union County Burn Ordinance 2024-02 are followed.

Key regulations in Ordinance 2024-02 include:

  • Burn barrel use is allowed only between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
  • Burn barrels must be located in a cleared area with a 10-foot radius free of flammable material and at least 25 feet from any structure.
  • Burn barrels must be equipped with a heavy metal screen and attended at all times, with water and a shovel immediately available.
  • Burning is prohibited on windy days.
  • Recreational fires are permitted only in approved fire rings less than six feet in diameter and must be constantly attended until fully extinguished.
  • Oregon Department of Forestry permit requirements apply in ODF-protected areas.

 

Fire conditions can change quickly. Residents are encouraged to use caution with all outdoor fires, ensure fires are not left unattended, and make sure they are completely extinguished before leaving the area.

Individuals located in areas of dual protection by Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) will be required to follow ODF restrictions currently in effect. Forest visitors are encouraged to stay up to date on the latest orders and regulations in Northeast Oregon by visiting the Blue Mountain Interagency Dispatch Center website at https://bmidc.org/restrictions.shtml.
