Lower Dry Creek Fire Forces Evacuations | Portland News
Description
The Lower Dry Creek Fire is still roaring out in Umatilla County, forcing urgent evacuations that now include entire towns like Weston and areas southwest of Milton-Freewater. Families are scrambling to get kids to safety — one camp was relocated to Elgin High School, but parents are barred from Highway 204 due to closures. Evacuation orders keep expanding as crews battle the blaze, which has shut down highways and destroyed shelters due to power outages — a new one’s now open at Pendleton Sunridge Middle School. With the fire’s cause still unknown, officials are racing to protect lives while adjusting orders on the fly — and they’re urging everyone to follow updates on Facebook.
