The full evacuation map can be viewed here.
Fire officials say the flames have burned 1,500 acres so far.
“This is the second time our agency has mobilized resources in the last week because of a wildfire,” State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said. “The conditions we are seeing across Oregon are extremely concerning, especially in early June. It only takes a spark to cause a disaster, so be wildfire aware.”
A shelter has been set up at Highland Baptist Church in Redmond, and animals can be taken to the Deschutes County Fairgrounds or Over the Edge Taphouse.
