 I'm Dan Tessman, and here's what's happening from the 24-Hour News Center, brought to you by Swain Motors. Oregon Governor Tina Kotak invoked the Emergency Conflagration Act Wednesday night in response to the fires started by lightning in Umatilla County. Kotak credited the Tri-County Fire Defense Board, the Oregon State Fire Marshal, the Oregon Department of Forestry, and Federal Wildlife Protection partners for working around the clock to keep eastern Oregonians safe. Umatilla County Commissioner Dan Doran was impressed with watching the Emergency Operations Center come together when the crisis began.
