Real-time scanner updates, originally composed posts. We are not a news outlet, not journalists, and not affiliated with law enforcement. Still, we strive to uphold the ethical standards of those professionals. Although, many first responders and local agencies are members of this community. Information shared here comes from real-time public scanner traffic and firsthand community reports and may

change as situations develop. Our purpose is community awareness and safety through original, firsthand scanner monitoring, not aggregation or scraped feeds. Corvallis & Benton County Scanner provides timely updates based on live scanner audio, with an emphasis on accuracy, clarity, and respect for both first responders and the community. What we do:
• Share real-time scanner chatter and delayed summaries
• Provide community safety information
• Choose education over sensation: Offer calm, factual context without drama or speculation
• Maintain a respectful, community-first standard

What we don’t do:
• Use AI-generated “scanner” apps
• Repost or aggregate from other community groups. If we share with permission, we credit.
• Sensationalize incidents, publish private details, invade privacy
• Post names, addresses, medical calls, or information that could compromise safety

Effective August 3, 2026, the Linn County Fire Defense Board is implementing fire restrictions due to elevated fire risk and expected Red Flag Warnings, in line with ODF guidance.

All open fires are prohibited, including recreational and cooking fires in wood or charcoal pits, as well as agricultural burning. Gas-fired and pellet barbecues are allowed.

These restrictions will remain in place as long as extreme fire danger continues. Exercise extreme caution with any fire-related activities, towing (chains), and outdoor recreation. Pacific Power has also warned of possible selective grid shutdowns during high-temperature and windy conditions.

Stay informed by signing up for Linn Benton Alerts and always comply with restrictions.

A big tree fell on the Clothesline Sale - but we’re getting back up anyway – and YOU can be a part of it!

Here’s what really happened: two big limbs dropped off the big red oak in the middle of the east side of Central Park, where the Clothesline Sale happens. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. But serious damage was found in what remained standing, so the tree had to be felled, just a month before the Sale. This forced big changes in the event, and an exciting addition we invite the community to support:

Do you have fond memories of the big red oak - the biggest tree on that side of the park? A first date there? A frisbee game nearby? Enjoying the view from the benches around it? I remember a juvenile Cooper’s Hawk seemed annoyed last year’s Clothesline Sale interrupted his hunting, and made a racket about it all afternoon, high in the canopy overhead.

Please join us Saturday, August 1 between 10am and 5pm and visit the ten feet remaining above ground of this revered Corvallis elder. Tell us what its presence meant to you - and/or what you think its future could be. We’ll collect and display your stories and thoughts that day, then archive them as evidence of the importance of every individual to the greater good we share.

While you’re there, you can see lots of amazing locally-produced art, enjoy delicious food, a wee bit of lilting music, and even learn how to fold an origami peace crane – but that’s another post…
