Chattaroy, Wash. — The Oregon Fire burning near Elk Washington has reached 8,282 acres and is causing level three “go now” evacuation orders.
The Fire began around 4 p.m. on Friday and has already devastated forest and cropland near the city of Elk Washington. The flames are moving very fast due to the high winds and dry weather as firefighters focus on protecting structures and digging fire lines.
