The brush fire broke out the day after Wasco County implemented its burn ban.
Stan Hinatsu with the National Forest Service said the fire kicks off a very early fire season.
“I hope it’s not a bad omen,” Hinatsu said.
Hinatsu said the dry vegetation provided fast fuel for the flames, which started south of the interstate then jumped to the north side thanks to strong winds.
April Acevedo was visiting her grandma at the Pinewood Mobile Manor mobile home park when she said the fire looked like a small pocket of smoke.
