Local forest ranger on front lines battling wildfire in Oregon
ASHE COUNTY — Local Ashe County Assistant Ranger, Luke Hall, along with 19 other personnel from the NC Forest Service are in Oregon battling wildfires. This is Hall’s second detail out west. Luke started his career in 2021, after working in the private sector for over 24 years. When crews are dispatched on detail, they will spend 14 days of up to 16 hr days working in the hot dry conditions.
