With wildfires burning in our region, Union County is encouraging livestock owners to prepare now by making arrangements for their animals in case evacuation becomes necessary.
 
Whenever possible, livestock owners should develop a self-contained evacuation plan with family, friends, neighbors, or other available resources and identify alternate locations where animals can be safely sheltered. Public livestock sheltering facilities are intended as a resource when other options are not available.
 
However, if you need a safe location for your livestock and do not have an alternate location available, temporary shelter is available at the Union County Fairgrounds. Union County has established relationships with other local facilities in the event that alternate sites are needed.
 
To inquire about livestock sheltering at the Fairgrounds, please call 541-962-1600 or 541-962-1610. Please call before transporting animals so space can be coordinated and appropriate accommodations can be arranged.
 
To help accommodate as many animals as possible, livestock owners should plan to bring their own feed, hay, water buckets or containers, halters, leads, and any other equipment needed to safely care for and handle their animals whenever possible.
 
Now is the time to prepare. Have trailers ready, ensure animals can be readily identified, and make an evacuation plan before an emergency occurs.
 
We sincerely appreciate the ongoing partnerships with the Union County Fairgrounds and other local facilities within Union County to support our agricultural community during emergencies.
 
Please continue to monitor official evacuation notices and emergency updates. Preparing before an evacuation is ordered helps protect your family, your livestock, and emergency responders.

🚨 Do You Know Your Evacuation Zone Number?
 
Union County currently has active evacuation zones due to wildfire activity. When evacuation notices are issued or updated, they often reference evacuation zone numbers such as UCO-140610S or UCO1436, etc. Knowing your zone now will help you quickly determine whether your home is affected.
 
Find your evacuation zone using Genasys Protect:
📍 Check your evacuation zone here: https://protect.genasys.com/
📍 Select the 🔍 Search icon.
📍 Enter your complete home address.
📍 The map will zoom to your location and display your evacuation zone and current evacuation level, if one is in effect.
 
Know the Evacuation Levels:
🟢 Level 1 – BE READY
Stay informed and prepare in case conditions worsen.
🟡 Level 2 – BE SET
Be packed and ready to leave at a moment’s notice.
🔴 Level 3 – GO NOW
Evacuate immediately. Do not wait.
 
📱 Watch Duty is another valuable tool for tracking wildfire activity, road closures, and incident updates. Evacuation zones are displayed in the app/website, but you’ll first want to know your evacuation zone number by looking up your address in Genasys Protect. Once you know your zone, it’s easy to recognize if it appears in updates or on the Watch Duty map.
 
⚠ Evacuation zones and levels can change rapidly. Check the live Genasys Protect map for the most current evacuation information, and follow updates from Union County Emergency Services and our public safety partners.
 
Take a few minutes today to look up your home, workplace, and other important locations. Being familiar with your evacuation zone before an emergency can save valuable time if conditions change.
 
Please share this information to help friends, family, and neighbors stay informed and prepared.

August 2, 2026 12:30 p.m. | Effective Immediately

Hagen Fire Evacuation Levels Reduced

Joint release from the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office, Umatilla County Emergency Management, Union County Sheriff’s Office, Union County Emergency Management, and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR)

The Joint Emergency Operations Center remains actively engaged with Northwest Incident Management Team 7 on the Hagen Fire. Following a review of current fire conditions, some evacuation zones are being reduced (zones listed below). 

Previous evacuation levels issued in the area east of Meacham Creek have dropped down one level (see map).  

Previous evacuation levels issued in areas west of McEntyre Road, south along NF 3719 Road and north of the North Fork of the Umatilla River have also dropped down one level (see map). 

Residents in the area should check the current maps prior to returning to ensure they are informed regarding the current evacuation levels in their area. 

Residents returning to reduced evacuation areas should also use caution and watch for firefighters, heavy equipment, smoke, debris, weakened trees, and ongoing suppression work. Those who do not live in the affected area are asked to stay out so crews and local landowners can work safely and without interference.

A reduction in evacuation level does not automatically reopen closed roads, trails, campgrounds, or restricted areas. Continue following all posted closures.

The following Zones have been reduced in Umatilla County. All other evacuation zones remain unchanged.

Reduced from Level 3 to
LEVEL 2 (BE SET) 

  • UMC-123-E
  • UMC-1406007-B
  • UMC-1406020
  • UMC-1406056
  • UMC-149-B

  • UMC-153
  • UMC-215-A
  • UMC-215-D
  • UMC-215-E
  • UMC-243

Reduced from Level 2 to

Evacuation Notices Removed
(Returned to Normal Status)

  • UMC-147-B
  • UMC-151I
  • UMC-213-D
  • UMC-213-E

The western containment line at Rattlesnake Ridge and the northern line near Bingham Road held through yesterday’s wind event. Multiple spot fires occurred east of Forest Service Road 31, and crews worked through the night to contain those spots and strengthen the road as a containment line.

Although the fire is holding along portions of the north and west sides, it continues to progress southeast and due east along the North Fork of the Umatilla River. Firefighters, equipment operators, aviation resources when conditions allow, incident personnel, supporting fire agencies, and local landowners remain actively engaged.

These evacuation reductions reflect improved conditions in the affected areas. The Joint Emergency Operations Center will continue taking a careful and measured approach to public safety while also returning residents to their homes as soon as conditions make that appropriate and feasible.

The Joint Emergency Operations Center appreciates the patience and cooperation of affected communities throughout this incident. If you see a firefighter or equipment operator working in the area, please take a moment to thank them. Many have worked long hours under difficult and changing conditions to protect residents, property, and our communities.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
URGENT PUBLIC SAFETY MESSAGE: Leave Level 3 Areas Today and Avoid Highway 204

July 31, 2026 @ 2:40 p.m.

UMATILLA COUNTY, Ore. — Umatilla County is urging residents within Level 3 evacuation areas near the Hagen Fire to leave today.  We are urging the public to avoid  unnecessary travel on Highway 204 through the Tollgate, Spout Springs and Langdon Lake areas to the greatest extent possible.

The National Weather Service has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Red Flag Warning for Saturday, August 1. The Red Flag Warning is in effect from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Strong winds, extremely dry fuels and existing wildfire conditions could result in rapid fire growth, extreme fire behavior, power outages and dangerous travel conditions.

This Is Not a Routine Red Flag Warning

A Particularly Dangerous Situation, or PDS Red Flag Warning is a rare designation used by the National Weather Service to identify exceptionally dangerous fire-weather conditions.

The National Weather Service began using PDS language for Red Flag Warnings in 2021. These warnings are intended for events meeting or exceeding the 95th percentile of fire-weather severity based on criteria established for the local area.

These conditions greatly exceed those associated with a routine Red Flag Warning and may result in:

  • Extreme and unpredictable fire behavior
  • Rapid fire growth and long-range spotting
  • New fires quickly becoming difficult to control
  • Dangerous conditions for residents, travelers and firefighters
  • Reduced opportunities to evacuate safely once conditions deteriorate

 

Residents should complete preparations and make evacuation decisions before the strongest winds and most dangerous conditions arrive.

Level 3 — GO NOW!

Everyone within a Level 3 evacuation area near the Hagen Fire should leave today.

There is extreme danger in the area. Leave without delay. Do not wait until Saturday. Do not wait until you see fire or smoke nearby. Do not wait for another evacuation alert.

Leave while roads remain passable and visibility allows for safer travel. Once winds increase and conditions deteriorate, emergency responders may be unable to safely enter or re-enter evacuation areas. Additional warnings or evacuation assistance may not be possible.

Level 2 — BE SET to evacuate. 

Residents within Level 2 evacuation areas must be prepared to leave immediately. There is significant danger in the area.  Stay informed and be alert. 

If you feel unsafe or need additional time to evacuate children, older adults, individuals with medical or mobility needs, pets or livestock you should strongly consider leaving early. Conditions may deteriorate rapidly and with little warning. Do not wait for another evacuation notice. Leave if you feel unsafe. 

Avoid Highway 204

The public should avoid unnecessary travel on Highway 204 through the Tollgate, Spout Springs and Langdon Lake areas. 

Use alternate routes and stay outside the affected area. Highway 204 must remain available for evacuating residents, emergency responders and firefighting equipment.

Those already within the area should consider leaving early rather than waiting for conditions to worsen.

Potential Hazards

Residents, travelers and recreationists may encounter:

  • Rapidly changing fire conditions
  • Heavy smoke and blowing dust
  • Sudden or near-zero visibility
  • Falling trees and large limbs
  • Downed power lines
  • Power outages
  • Debris or blocked roadways
  • Emergency vehicles and firefighting equipment operating along Highway 204

 

 

Residents throughout Umatilla County should keep vehicles fueled, phones charged and emergency supplies ready. Stay away from downed power lines and call 911 for immediate threats to life or safety.

Continue monitoring official Umatilla County communications for evacuation updates and changing conditions.

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 Northwest Incident Management Team 7 for Hagen Fire.

 

The following evacuation levels have been increased from Level 2 to LEVEL 3 on the Hagen Fire effective immediately (all other zones remain unchanged):

LEVEL 3  (GO NOW)

 

Evacuation Zones:

UMC – 1406018-A

 

This LEVEL 3 area in Umatilla County includes the area south of the NF 3719 road, east to the Umatilla County line.

 

We continue to instruct residents in all the areas to take extra precautions. While every effort is being made to provide timely updates on evacuation levels and fire behavior, local terrain presents significant communication and access challenges.

 

Due to the remote nature of these affected areas and the predicted weather conditions, residents must remain extremely vigilant and proactively monitor surrounding fire activity. Fire conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably.  Do not wait for an official evacuation order if you feel unsafe or see immediate danger.

Additionally the public is warned that there is a heavy presence of fire apparatus, emergency response vehicles, fire crews and law enforcement operating throughout the area.  Members of the public are strictly urged to remain clear, unless travel is absolutely necessary.  Unnecessary traffic can interfere with emergency personnel and fire crews and create safety risks to both the public and critical operations.

We continue to instruct residents in all the areas to take extra precautions. While every effort is being made to provide timely updates on evacuation levels and fire behavior, local terrain presents significant communication and access challenges.

Due to the remote nature of these affected areas and the predicted weather conditions, residents must remain extremely vigilant and proactively monitor surrounding fire activity. Fire conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably.  Do not wait for an official evacuation order if you feel unsafe or see immediate danger.

Additionally the public is warned that there is a heavy presence of fire apparatus, emergency response vehicles, fire crews and law enforcement operating throughout the area.  Members of the public are strictly urged to remain clear, unless travel is absolutely necessary.  Unnecessary traffic can interfere with emergency personnel and fire crews and create safety risks to both the public and critical operations.

Continue to follow official fire updates at Paradise, Hagen and Horse Ridge Fire Information.
