 Due to active wildfires on the Heppner Ranger District compounded by extremely unfavorable weather conditions, limited firefighting resources, and concern for public safety, forest officials on the Umatilla National Forest are temporarily closing the Heppner Ranger District. We are updating information on our My Columbia Basin Facebook page and our website at ElkhornMediaGroup.com as soon as we receive it. For more specifics, check out the Facebook page for the county sheriff's offices that are impacted.
