There were 18 large fires burning in Oregon and Washington state on Saturday, leading to evacuations and targeted power outages in Oregon as the challenge of dry and windy conditions continued in the region.
A helicopter carries water on a longline to a wildfire near Salem, Ore., at sunset on Sept. 9, 2022. Climate change is bringing drier conditions to the Pacific Northwest and that requires strategies that have been common in fire-prone California for the past decade or more, said Erica Fleishman, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute at Oregon State University.
Peter Mongillo, a spokesman with Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue, was nearby as part of the overall incident command center, and said that high-voltage transmission lines owned by Bonneville Power Administration that run across the Cascade Mountains were at risk because of the amount of smoke and particulates in the air, which can affect the lines.
Bonneville spokesman Kevin Wingert said that there are three lines in the area, and that right now the"location of the fire and the density of smoke is such that we do not have an operational or safety need to take those lines out of service." In Oregon, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office announced the evacuation order of campers from Milo McIver State Park late Friday night, which is about 24 miles southeast of Portland. Early Saturday morning, residents in several communities west of the park were told to be ready to evacuate.
