7500 acres of brush fields burn near Sisters

According to KTVZ about 12 hours ago, as much as 7500 acres of brush fields have been burned and continue burning in central Oregon near Sisters. Thank goodness the fire is about 85% contained. The fire was caused by a lightning strike but is being controlled with constructed firelines.



The Evacuation Notice for the Black Butte Ranch area remains at a Level One, whatever that means. Nonetheless, fire officials say the public needs to refrain from entering the fire area as many dangers still exist, as in refrain from getting close and taking pictures of the vast fire landscape.
