As the Bootleg Fire in south central Oregon has grown exponentially in recent days, the number of evacuees has grown with it.
The Red Cross emergency shelter at Klamath County Fairgrounds in Klamath Falls has now housed more than 130 people since opening last week. Some are choosing to stay in their vehicles or campers on fairgrounds property while others are staying inside the event center.
The Bootleg Fire, burning in the Fremont-Winema National Forest, has exploded to nearly 202,000 acres in less than a week. A second fire has sparked as well, estimated at 150 acres as of Tuesday afternoon. Efforts are underway to contain it.
