A southwestern Oregon wildfire burning since mid-August spread rapidly from Friday to Saturday thanks to strong winds, more then tripling its total burned acreage in one day and prompting evacuation orders, fire officials said.

The Rum Creek Fire, about a 50-mile drive northwest of Medford, has burned 4,319 acres as of Saturday morning, according to InciWeb , a clearinghouse for US fire information.

That’s up from the roughly 1,200 acres the fire had burned by Friday morning, according to CNN affiliates KOBI and KTVL .

Evacuation orders were issued Friday and Saturday for a rural area in Oregon’s Josephine County, including the small communities of Rand and Galice, county officials said .

“It’s unsafe to stay and threatens the safety of you, your family and emergency responders. Your life could be in great danger,” the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office said Friday of people in the evacuation zone.

“Emergency services personnel may not be available to help you if you choose to stay.”

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said in a tweet Saturday that she is invoking the Emergency Conflagration Act to make additional state resources available “to slow the fire’s progress.”


The Tribulation is commencing…

Please repent, carry your cross daily and accept the free gift of Jesus Christ’s Death on the Cross for payment for your sins.
