TFR
Central Oregon, Southern Oregon, and South Eastern Oregon are all experiencing a wild fire, it's cause for alarm. Pilots in the area should be aware of smoke hazards that exist and could reduce visibility below VFR Flight rules, always make yourself aware of these notams before a flight, especially if you are going toward one of these TFR's because visibility will be reducing as you move toward the wild fire. It's also important to keep in mind what the winds are doing and how that will affect the movement of wind.
TFR NOTAMS
Below you will see notams for the three biggest fires closest to my home airport, KBDN. This formation can be found through Skyvector.com or pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/PilotWeb/ to see all of the information provided for each notam.
Smoke
Below you can see an image of the smoke at sunset on top of Pilot Butte. The smoke was not reducing visibility below 10SM but this was about 15SM of visibility in smoke. I hope this will give you a reference if you will be flying in the local area, or in an area of severe smoke or reduced visibility. Remember to always check notams and TFR's before flying because flying into one will cause you troubles that you do not want.
