The Cedar Creek Fire, which has been burning near Waldo Lake since Aug. 1, continued to grow Friday night and Saturday morning. The fire grew from about 33,000 acres on Friday to nearly 52,000 acres by Saturday morning. Only 12% remained restrained. Cedar Creek meteorologist Ian Morrison said Saturday would be a “critical fire day”, with high winds in the morning and hot temperatures in the afternoon. A red flag warning issued by the National Weather Service remained in effect for much of the western half of Oregon, as well as parts of California and Washington. Officials said Saturday’s fire was “expected to be extreme with long-range spots and corona runs.” There is a level 3 evacuation (go now) for residents of Oakridge, Westfir and the High Prairies area. A growing fire at Milo McIver State Park prompted evacuations late Friday night for residents along the Clackamas River.

In an effort to prevent more fires from gusty winds that bring down power lines, Portland General Electric cut power to five more areas Saturday morning. The precautionary power outage by PGE and Pacific Power began on Friday. Multnomah County issued a mandatory wood burning restriction effective Saturday at noon, prohibiting residents from burning wood without a county exemption. About 244,000 acres had burned across the state as of Saturday morning. The Double Creek Fire in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest remained the largest fire in the state at about 147,500 acres, up from nearly 140,000 on Friday. That fire was only 15 percent contained Saturday morning, but officials noted the area would not experience the same high-risk conditions as the fires on the west side of the Cascades. A level 3 (go now) evacuation was in effect for the town of Imnaha, north on the Snake River at Dug Bar and south on Highway 39. But there was some good news: Another large fire in Oregon, the Rum Creek Fire, which was burning more than 21,000 acres in Josephine County had not grown Friday night and was 55 percent contained as of Saturday morning.
