Oregon Wildfire Burns 120K Acres | Portland News

Description

A massive wildfire complex in north central Oregon, now dubbed the Crosswhite Fire, has scorched over 120,000 acres and remains zero percent contained — a wildfire emergency so severe that Oregon’s governor invoked the Conflagration Act to deploy more state resources. Sparked by lightning on Wednesday, the blaze has forced evacuations across Wheeler, Wasco, and Crook counties, with residents urged to check official maps and social media for real-time alerts. With temperatures soaring and conditions dry, firefighters are battling a relentless fire fueled by nature’s fury — and the situation is only getting hotter.
