The fire, which burned about 4,000 acres on Monday, was moving toward the coastal communities of Green and Tipton in south Oregon and east of the state capital, Portland.
An official with the state Forest Service said the fire was 일산출장샵 일산출장마사지approaching the city of Newport and Portland’s Interstate 5 bridge in Portland’s central business district.
Residents of northern Portland are being told to stay indoors or stay away from the roadways because smoke is already seeping into the nearby suburbs.
Some schools in the city and surrounding suburbs have cancelled school-related activities because the smoke from the blaze was causing concern among neighbors, and schools in the greater Portland metropolitan area could be closed Friday due to the smoke.
The fire destroyed part of the old Salem Town School and a few buildings of nearby Westport High School.
Aerial images showed fire hoses and fire extinguishers at an elevated spot of the fire and several water tanks at a high rise tower in downtown Portland.
The fire started in the back yard of a home with a garage. It has burnt some 6,500 acres to the southwest of Newport, state officials say. The blaze reached a high of 3,000 acres in Green about 1 mile from where the house was, state officials said.
Pierce County Deputy Fire Chief Michael Kranish said the wildfire forced firefighters to fight the flames from up a hill and up a nearby tree line, pushing them to a hillside near the house’s garage.
Crews with air tankers used heaters and other techniques to fight the flames, Kranish said. He said fire crews also used a combination of helicopters and heavy equipment to attack the fire from high ground near the house.
More than 9,000 firefighters have helped contain the blaze and more than 900 homes have been destroyed, and more than 50 homes 용인안마have been damaged, officials said.
A National Weather Service weather service forecaster predicted that smoke from the blaze could continue through Sunday night. The fire is 100 percent contained, according to fire information from the Oregon Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
