Cram Fire in Jefferson County prompts Level 3 ‘Go Now’ evacuations

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Cram Fire in Jefferson County north of Madras prompted Level 3 “Go Now” evacuations on Monday afternoon.

Other nearby areas are under Level 2 “Be Ready” and Level 1 “Be Set” evacuations.

The most up-to-date evacuation information can be viewed on the Jefferson County Evacuation Zone map.

The fire started on Sunday off Hwy 97 near milepost 76. It has grown to over 10,000 acres and is 0% contained.

“The next 24 hours will be extremely challenging for this fire with continued gusty, shifting winds and hot temperatures,” State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said. “This is the sixth time the Emergency Conflagration Act has been invoked this summer and comes as a reminder that we need everyone’s help to stay wildfire aware and prevent new fire starts.”  

Ruiz-Temple is sending four additional teams from Lane, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill counties to help with the fire.

This is a developing story.
