Black Crater Fire

Sisters, Oregon:

The Black Crater forest fire west of Sisters was at about 5,700 acres, or nearly nine square miles, Sunday and remained only five percent contained.

Three subdivisions, housing about 1,500 people, near the popular tourist town in the shadow of the Cascade Mountains has been ordered evacuated as of Saturday night but no new evacuations had been ordered Sunday.

Firefighters said they expected a weather break with lighter winds but that a more accurate status report would not be made until peak after burning hours Sunday afternoon.

For reference I have a copy of the TFR map here.

We noticed a lot of smoke last night in Lake County, but the local news said that it blew in from California.
