Jason Pettigrew Originally published on July 12, 2021 3:47 pm Eight large fires are burning across Oregon and Washington, prompting evacuations in Southern and Central Oregon, and blanketing much of the southeastern corner of the state in smoke. In Oregon, the Jack Fire east of Glide had grown to more than 10,000 acres and was 10% contained as of midday Monday. The Grandview Fire north of Sisters, which sparked Sunday, quickly grew to 4,000 acres, with zero containment. Evacuations are in place for both, as well as for the massive south-central Oregon Bootleg Fire, the largest in the state, where firefighters reported that heavy smoke worked in their favor by slowing the conflagration’s growth.
