Firefighters with the Oregon Department of Forestry Southwest Oregon District responded to 15 reports of fire on Tuesday following thunderstorms through the region that began on Monday night.

Public Information Officer Natalie Weber said ODF fire fighters found and confirmed 10 fires from the 15 reported. Weber said ODF resources worked with federal partners at the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest and Bureau of Land Management in response to these fires, and as a result, all fires are either completely extinguished or are fully lined and holding in their current footprint. The largest fire was caught at 12 acres.

High fire danger is now in effect on ODF-protected land in Jackson and Josephine counties. For more information on ODF Southwest Oregon District, go to: www.swofire.com.
