New Oregon wildfires lead to evacuation notices in 2 places Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Aug. 18, 2016 at 9:56 AM Updated Aug 18, 2016 at 10:04 AM By The Associated Press Posted Aug. 18, 2016 at 9:56 AM Updated Aug 18, 2016 at 10:04 AM » Social News PORTLAND — Oregon's wildfire season is picking up just as much of the state prepares for triple-digit heat. A fire west of Sunriver led officials to warn people in a subdivision they might have to evacuate. The same situation played out in the southern Oregon town of Paisley, where an 800-acre blaze was one of four that started Wednesday afternoon in Lake County. In Eastern Oregon, crews set intentional blazes to rob the Rail fire of fuel as it burns about 10 miles southwest of Unity. The wildfire that has scorched 37 square miles produced a large column of smoke that could be seen from Baker City. Firefighters won't have comfortable conditions to battle the flames. The forecast for Thursday and Friday calls for temperatures near or above 100 in Western Oregon and it'll be in the 90s east of the Cascades. The fire near Sunriver was relatively small, less than a square mile, but its location near the resort community got attention. Crews worked through the night and continued to focus on the southeast corner, the direction the fire had been moving and an area with homes, said Patrick Lair, spokesman for Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center. Crews got a line around the fire at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday and did back-burning through the night. About 250 people continued to fight the blaze. The fire northwest of Paisley was moving toward private and Fremont-Winema National Forest lands. The evacuation notice means residents in town of about 250 people should monitor the news and be ready to potentially leave home. The other fires in Lake County, which borders California and Nevada, were small and posed no threat.
