It's been a long summer of fire activity.” Residents who are interested in monitoring fire activity or need information may find the following resources helpful: Devils Knob Complex Fires: Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/2021-Devils-Knob-Complex-112079071131008 Inciweb: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7771 Fire Information: (541) 900-6133 (8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) Email: 2021.DevilsKnob@firenet.gov O’Dell noted that as Douglas County enters into the fall and winter seasons, the Sheriff's Office encourages residents to ensure they are prepared for winter events and related emergencies by having an emergency plan and kit.
