Oregon’s Wildfires Rage Through Central State | Portland News
Description
Oregon’s wildfire season is exploding, with over a million acres already burned and 87 fires still active—mostly in central Oregon. Major complex fires like Rowe Creek (31% contained) and Hay Creek (60% contained) are merging and stretching resources, while the massive Big Grass fire in Malheur County—just 5% contained—has scorched 280,000 acres. Total burned land now exceeds 1.1 million acres. Even near Portland, small fires like those on Suttle and Rosewood Roads are causing concern. The Oregon Department of Transportation has shut down nearly 80 miles of I-84 between Baker City and Ontario, urging everyone to avoid the area entirely—no detours available.
