More than 2,000 Oregon homes have been evacuated as a wildfire has quadrupled in size. As of Sunday, it was burning across 86,000 acres.
they had completed strategic burning operations along the fire's northwest edges and were working to set up protective measures along the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, a 66-mile stretch of highway east of the fire dotted with campgrounds and resorts, including the Mt. Bachelor ski area, which is hosting a fire command center."These fire breaks are high priority and will likely take most of a week to complete," officials said.
A Red Cross shelter has been set up at the Lane County Fairgrounds in Eugene, about 50 miles to the northwest. Oregon fire agencies are battling several other blazes statewide, including the Double Creek Fire in the northeastern part of the state. Utilities had shut down power to tens of thousands of customers Friday as a preventative measure amid the windy conditions.
