KTVZ — The Oakridge and Westfir areas were evacuated Friday evening and a Highway 58 closure was lengthened 65 miles in the face of the Cedar Creek Fire as predicted windy conditions also sparked other wildfires around the Northwest that forced people to also flee their homes. GO NOW! Evacuees were advised to travel west on Highway 58 to the temporary evacuation point at Lane Community College, Building 16, and travelers were urged to avoid the area and take alternate routes.

In Washington County west of Portland, two fires broke out near Hagg Lake and were brought under control, but sheriff's deputies said the high winds mean a Level 2 evacuation notice remains in place on SW Stepien Road, with residents asked to leave if possible. The Oregon Department of Forestry said a statewide task force created earlier this week is working with several structure-protection strike teams focused on protecting Oakridge and other nearby private lands.

The highest activity will occur where lichen is present in trees and there is a high concentration of down wood. Where winds align with slopes, tree canopy fire and fire spotting are anticipated. Last night scouting occurred at high points to assess fire growth but smoke limited visibility. The fire spotted over the Winchester Trail to the north.

Alaska Team 1 has joined Northwest Team 6 to manage the eastern side of the fire. This has brought key middle management personnel to the fire and allows firefighters to have shorter driving times to the east side of the fire.

Firefighters are working on fireline from north Waldo Lake to Charlton Lake connecting to Forest Service Road to hold the fire from continuing to move south. On Forest Service Road firefighters will be watching for any spot fires and holding the fire at the road. Crews will be engaging the spot fires north of the Winchester Trail trying to extinguish them if safe to do so.

Firefighters are also coordinating with the Middle Fork Ranger District and Lane County Oregon State Fire Marshal representative in order to provide initial attack support to any new fire starts that could occur.
