NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- Most of Oregon is in extreme fire danger, as several fires are already burning, evacuations have been ordered in several regions and power has been shut off to thousands of customers due to the high fire risk.
Evacuations are in effect for the town of Imnaha north to the Snake River and south to Highway 39.
"Saturday's fire activity is expected to be extreme, with long-range spotting and crown runs," the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal said in an update Saturday. "The fire remains outside Oakridge and the surrounding communities but today's high heat will challenge firefighters as they protect homes and critical infrastructure," the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal said Saturday.
One of the latest fires to ignite was a grass fire south of Salem, sparking evacuation orders Friday night. By Saturday morning, the Vitae Springs Fire was 100% contained, city officials said.
