By MOLLY SOLOMON Oregon Public Broadcasting A fast-growing wild- fire east of The Dalles that forced evacuations Tuesday night continued to swell as it burned overnight. The Substation Fire jumped the Deschutes River near Sayers Road Tues- day evening, entering Sher- man County by 10:30 p.m. By 6 a.m. this morning, the fire was burning more than 29,000 acres. Gov. Kate Brown invoked the Emergency Conflagration Act, which allows the state fire marshal to dispatch equip- ment and firefighters from around the state. Officials said today that they will provide air support to firefighters. “To ensure the safety of local residents, and given the dry and windy conditions on the ground, I am invok- ing an emergency declara- tion to make additional state resources available to fire- fighters and first responders,” Brown said in a statement. The blaze forced imme- diate evacuations of an esti- mated 75 households in Wasco County. Those evacu- ations remained in place this morning. Wasco County Sheriff’s Office A grass fire near The Dalles forced evacuations of area residents. The U.S. Forest Service confirmed at least one home burned, including several sur- rounding buildings on the property. Level 3 or “go now” evac- uations were ordered for 8 Mile Road at Emerson Loop Road to Emerson Loop Road and Company Hollow Road. The evacuation area also includes all of Wrentham Mar- ket, Mason, 15 Mile, McCoy, Moody, Fulton, Kloan, Free- bridge and Kelly Cutoff roads and all points in between. In Sherman County, Level 1 or “get ready” evacuations were issued for Grass Val- ley, Moro and the surround- ing area. High winds near the Wasco County auction yard carried the blaze as it ignited nearby grasslands and wheat fields. It started just south of the Celilo Converter Station on Highway 197 before it headed east and jumped the Deschutes River. A second fire burning near the fairgrounds in Tygh Val- ley was put out early Tuesday evening. Red Cross opened a shelter at The Dalles Middle School starting at 8:30 p.m. for peo- ple displaced by the fire. Other shelters have opened their doors to house animals. Home at Last Humane Society in The Dalles will house dis- placed dogs free of charge and Fort Dalles Riders Club can accommodate large livestock. Astoria-based cutters seize cocaine The Daily Astorian Crew onboard the Coast Guard cutters Steadfast and Alert seized $260 mil- lion worth of cocaine during patrols in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. The crew offloaded the roughly 17,000 pounds of cocaine Monday in San Diego. The seizures came from four smuggling vessels in late June and mid-July. More than 11,000 pounds seized by the Steadfast crew came from a panga-type fishing boat. The smugglers dumped the cocaine and escaped capture following a high-speed chase, but the trail of cocaine bales recovered is the largest seizure from a sin- gle vessel in more than two years. “First, more than eight tons of cocaine won’t reach our streets and add to the drug-related deaths and health problems facing our nation,” Cmdr. Alain Balmaceda, com- manding officer of the Stead- fast, said in a statement. “And second, hundreds of millions of dollars are being denied to transnational criminal organi- zations who spread instability, death and despair wherever they operate.” The Steadfast and Alert, both 210-foot medium endur- ance Reliance-class cutters, are based at the 17th Street Dock in Astoria.
