The Silver Fire was a 1987 wildfire in the Siskiyou National Forest (now part of the Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest) in Oregon.

Parts of its burned area were re-burned in the Biscuit Fire and the Chetco Bar Fire.

It was started by a lightning strike near Silver Creek on August 30, and was contained on November 2 after a dry summer in the area, with relative humidity as low as 4% at times in certain places[2]: 21  (very low for the area), was ended by heavy rain.

[3] Firefighters from across the country, as far away as Virginia, went to Oregon to fight the fire.

Nearly 4,000 people were involved in the effort.
