Oregon Statutes - Chapter 477 - Fire Protection of Forests and Vegetation - Section 477.064 - Uncontrolled fire declared nuisance.

Any fire on any forestland in Oregon burning uncontrolled or without proper action being taken to prevent its spread, notwithstanding its origin, is declared a public nuisance by reason of its menace to life, forest resources or property. The spread of fire in forestland across an ownership boundary is prima facie evidence of fire burning uncontrolled. [Formerly 477.034; 1997 c.274 §3]
