2026 is shaping up to be a serious fire season. Oregon's fire season started earlier than usual this year and is expected to stretch into October, driven by record-low snowpack, historic drought and potential El Niño conditions. Lane County officials have called it a potential "brutal summer".

The Deathball Mountain camera has been watching over the valley since after the Holiday Farm Fire and it's one of the best tools we have for early detection. Keep this link bookmarked and check it regularly, especially on hot, windy days:

A few reminders going into the season:

💥Sign up for Lane County emergency alerts
💥Know your evacuation levels (Level 1, 2, 3) and your route
💥Create defensible space around your home
💥Download the "Before You Burn" app for iOS or Android

🚒 If you see smoke, report it. 🚒

🔐 Today is World Password Day!

It's a great reminder to take a few minutes and strengthen your digital security. Here are a few quick wins:

🔒Use unique passwords for every account — never reuse them.
🔒Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) wherever it's available.
🔒Consider using a password manager to keep everything organized and secure.
🔒If a password is short, simple, or hasn't been changed in a while, today is the day to get it done

Cybersecurity doesn't have to be complicated. Small steps like these go a long way toward keeping your business and personal data safe.

📡Elevate Named to CRN’s MSP 500 List For 2026 📡

Portland, Oregon, February 11, 2026 — The Elevate Technology Group announced today that it has been named by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, to the Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Pioneer 250 category for 2026.

CRN’s annual MSP 500 list is a comprehensive guide to the leading MSPs in North America. These companies deliver essential managed services that enhance business efficiency, simplify IT, and optimize return on technology investments for their customers.

The annual MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: the Pioneer 250, which recognizes MSPs focused on the small- and midsize-business market; the Elite 150, recognizing MSPs with a blend of on- and off-premises services for mostly midmarket and enterprise customers; and the Security MSP 100, spotlighting MSPs with cloud-based security services expertise.

The MSP 500 list showcases and celebrates MSPs that are driving growth and innovation. These companies empower businesses with complex technologies so they can achieve their business goals without stretching financial resources.

“The companies on our 2026 MSP 500 list are redefining what exceptional managed services look like—helping organizations of every size stay agile, maximize their IT investments and scale with confidence,” said Jennifer Follett, VP of U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. “These are the innovators who stay ahead of customer needs and deliver transformative services that free businesses to focus on what they do best and accelerate their success.””

📡We did some work a couple of years and built a tower to support a high school in Medford when they needed to renovate their gym. There were several cell dishes on the roof of the gym.

Fast forward! ⏱️

The tower teardown in Medford is officially complete. Our crew is on the move today, transporting the tower components from Medford to Roseburg where setup will begin at the new site very shortly.

Even better news – we're running approximately half a day ahead of schedule! 💯

Thanks to our dedicated Field Operations team for their efficient work and commitment to staying on track. 📡

Ho ho ho! Our amazing engineering team just sleighed it! 🎅

We're thrilled to report that the new solar array on Castle Rock is complete! While we still have a few network upgrades on our wish list (coming after the holidays), the good news is that no customers should experience any further service interruptions.

Our crew worked incredibly hard to wrap this up before the holiday break and we couldn't be more grateful for their dedication!

To all our valued customers the Blue River Area: Thank you for your patience and continued trust in us.

Wishing everyone a wonderful, safe and joyful holiday season! 🎁❄️
Stay warm, we'll keep you connected and from all of us Happy Holidays! 📡

📡This is what Elevate does. We don't wait for perfect conditions. We show up when our community needs us most—even when it means drilling new foundations into rock in the freezing rain, even when it means working through the night on a mountain top.

From the ashes of the Holiday Farm fires to the aftermath of this week's storm, Elevate continues to prove that reliable connectivity isn't just about technology—it's about commitment to the people who depend on us. 📡

As crews work around the clock Thursday to restore power to communities throughout the region, a tech crew braved the elements to climb up Castle Rock Mountain

Happy Thanksgiving from the Elevate Technology Group!

As we gather around tables filled with loved ones and expressing gratitude this Thanksgiving, our team wants to extend our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful friends and partners. Your trust in us throughout the year means everything.

🤖A Tech Tip for Your Holiday:
Before you hit the road to visit family or start preparing that feast, take a moment to back up your devices and photos! Whether it's those Kodak family moments, your famous recipe collection or important documents, make sure everything is safely backed up in the Cloud or on an external drive. After all, memories are the most important data we protect.

📡Stay Safe & Connected:
If you're traveling, download your maps for offline use in case you lose signal in remote areas that have limited service. Don't forget to enable phone locator services, even for those earbuds!! Share your travel plans with family through a group text and remember—no text or email is worth answering while behind the wheel.

👏Giving Thanks:
This Thanksgiving, we're especially grateful for the relationships we've built and the opportunity to serve you. Technology connects us, but it's the people behind the screens that truly matter.
From our team to yours, may your holiday be filled with warmth, laughter, and just the right amount of tech to capture the memories—but not so much that you miss living them. No phones at the table!

Happy Thanksgiving!
The Elevate Technology Group Team 🦃
