Douglas Forest Protective Association

Fire officials with the Douglas Forest Protective Association say that two recent wildfires northwest of Winston that occurred alongside Lookingglass Road are suspicious in nature and may be related. The first fire occurred during the afternoon of Thursday, September 3rd and burned 1/2 acre of wildland fuels while the second fire burned a quarter acre of grass the following day.

DFPA is conducting a joint investigation with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Oregon State Police to identify the responsible party. Anyone with information about either fire is asked to contact either DFPA or DCSO.
