The 2025 Oregon wildfire season is a series of ongoing wildfires that are burning throughout the U.S. state of Oregon.
On May 7, Governor Tina Kotek signed a declaration declaring May “Wildfire Awareness Month”. The season is expected to be similarly destructive as the 2024 season, the most destructive in history. On May 27, Senator Ron Wyden criticized cuts to NOAA under the second presidency of Donald Trump and other federal firefighting resources like the Forest Service, framing the agencies as nonpartisan and the cuts as not warranted. The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) has set the start date for the season as June 1, but forecasts show unseasonably hot and dry weather could start fires before the date.
