PORTLAND — Fire bosses have put about 100 residents near the Cascade Range town Oakridge on alert to get out of the way of a wildfire.
The Eugene Register-Guard reports that officials briefly evacuated a mobile home park and about 60 homes Wednesday night after the fire grew.
The fire has sent huge volumes of smoke into the Eugene-Springfield area and Central Oregon. In Oakridge itself, local regulators said the air quality Thursday was down to unhealthy levels.
Lightning started a fire two weeks ago, and three small fires have combined into what’s called the Deception Complex fire.
