The Emergency Conflagration Act was invoked by the Oregon State Fire Marshal for the Grasshopper Fire Wednesday, assigning additional resources from outside the state to help. The kit includes a 20-inch box fan, a HEPA filter, and various informational materials on how to improve in-home air quality. Fullen said air quality on the reservation has been poor ever since the Hagen Fire started on July 16. Several air quality monitors placed around the reservation showed an air quality index of more than 100, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers “unhealthy for sensitive groups.” Fullen said the CTUIR has been focused on distributing its air quality kits to vulnerable populations in their community, like elders or members with health conditions.
