Episode Details

The East Evans Creek Fire in Jackson County, Oregon, exploded from a few dozen acres to over 2,000 in just one day, forcing Governor Tina Kotek to declare a conflagration and mobilize state resources. Firefighters battled through a dangerous combo of dry heat, wind, and dense brush, while residents near the blaze faced evacuation orders — with shelters open at Hanby Middle School. With conditions still ripe for rapid growth, officials urge everyone to monitor the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Southwest Oregon District site for real-time updates. Stay safe if you’re in the path of this fast-moving wildfire.
