Eastern Oregon Fire off I-84 grows 11 square miles in 1 day!


A wildfire that started Wednesday off Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon grew to nearly 11 square miles in just one day.

Interstate 84 is closed between Ontario and Pendleton and the city of Huntington has told its residents to be ready to leave if the fire comes closer.

Vale District Fire Management officer Bob Narus says fire officials are optimistic they can prevent an evacuation related to the Lime Hill Fire.

The cause of the blaze is still being investigated.
