Wildfires burn around Oregon; 4,500 people evacuated
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
PORTLAND — Wildfires
in Oregon are burning an area
roughly equivalent to half the
state of Rhode Island, affect-
ing air quality throughout the
state and forcing the evacua-
tions of more than 4,500 peo-
ple, fire authorities said.
Two dozen fires in south-
ern, eastern and central parts
of the state had scorched a
total of 571 square miles.
And although fire crews
appreciated cooler weather
and some fog on some fire
lines, they are bracing for tri-
ple-digit temperatures and
the return of windy con-
ditions and extremely low
humidity later this week and
into the weekend, said Terry
Tom Story/Inciweb
The Milli Fire near Sisters.
Krasko, a U.S. Forest Service
spokesman.
The largest fire is near the
coastal town of Brookings
near the California border.
That
196-square-mile
blaze is 5 percent contained
and 4,568 people have fled
their homes. Firefighters have
managed to carve out a con-
tainment line along the south-
western edge of the fire to
protect the 6,500-person town
that will be bolstered by the
arrival Wednesday of six Ore-
gon National Guard teams.
The fire started July 12
from a lightning strike in
the Rogue River-Siskiyou
National Forest but grew rap-
idly last week.
“That 5 percent doesn’t
sound like a lot but it’s very
critical to this town and we
feel very good about that.
There have been people ask-
ing, ‘What about the other
side of the fire, what about
the east?’” Krasko said. “But
we have to put our efforts first
where the homes and busi-
nesses are — where people
live. These are our family and
friends.”
Also in the Rogue Riv-
er-Siskiyou National Forest,
Mass fish escape puts salmon farm on hold
Associated Press
SEATTLE — Officials
have put on hold Cooke Aqua-
culture’s application to build
a new marine salmon farm in
the Strait of Juan de Fuca as
the company deals with the
escape of thousands of fish
from another facility.
Canada-based
Cooke
Aquaculture asked for a post-
ponement for an upcoming
hearing for a project permit,
said Clallam County planning
manager Steve Gray.
“Given the circumstance,
we mutually agreed that that
would be best,” he said.
Cooke’s net-pen holding
about 305,000 Atlantic salmon
in Skagit County failed Aug.
19. Thousands of the non-na-
tive fish have escaped into local
rivers and waterways, raising
concerns about its potential
impact on native salmon.
State and tribal officials
have urged people to catch as
many as possible to protect
native stocks of wild salmon.
The Lummi Nation last week
declared a state of emergency.
Over the weekend Gov. Jay
Inslee placed a moratorium on
net pen permits until an inves-
tigation into the mishap is
completed.
Canada-based Cooke is
proposing to build 14 float-
ing circular net pens about 1.5
miles offshore. It would move
current operations from Port
Angeles Harbor and increase
production by 20 percent.
The company operates eight
salmon farms in the state that
it acquired last year.
The project requires several
permits from local, state and
federal agencies.
The company asked that
a Sept. 7 hearing before the
Clallam County hearing exam-
iner be canceled to allow it
to focus on the emergency
response effort, Gray said. It
also wanted to work with the
county to evaluate next steps
for its permit application.
“We will certainly look
at any new information that
comes out of the Cypress
Island investigation by the
state,” said Clallam County’s
Gray. “That kind of informa-
tion can be looked at if there’s
relevance to this proposal.”
Cooke has recovered about
141,600 salmon, state officials
who mobilized a joint command
response to the escape over the
weekend said Wednesday.
The Lummi tribe said its
anglers have caught another
20,000 fish.
Cooke and its salvage con-
tractor have removed three
nets from the damaged site off
Cypress Island farm.
The facility, which has been

questioning him would Composite hold

ern and central Oregon.
Smoke forced the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival to can-
cel its outdoor performance
on Tuesday.
Nine cities, including
Bend, Medford, Ashland and
Klamath Falls, had unhealthy
air conditions on Wednes-
day, according to the Oregon
Department of Environmen-
tal Quality.
Smoke from all the blazes
has also converged on Port-
land, which is several hun-
dred miles away, and has
obscured the iconic view of
Mount Hood.
On Tuesday, some Port-
land residents reported find-
ing ash on their parked cars.

but further east, a complex
of fires forced the evacua-
tion of six homes Tuesday in
a rural community called Joe
Bar near the Applegate River
Valley. Several of the fires
have merged and firefighters
have divided the largest ones
into three areas of attack, fire
authorities said.
About two dozen blazes
all began on Aug. 12 after a
lightning storm in the area,
but most were put out quickly
by crews.
In central Oregon, a
34-square-mile fire west of
Sisters is now 44 percent con-
tained. No mandatory evacu-
ations are in effect.
Fires statewide continue
to generate thick smoke that’s
