Hat Rock Fire Grows To 3k Acres In Eastern Oregon

UMATILLA CO., OR -- A fast-moving wildfire shut down a section of Highway 730 in eastern Oregon, and prompted Level Two (Be Ready) evacuation warnings for Hat Rock State Park in Umatilla County. It’s moving toward the Washington Border.

The State Fire Marshal mobilized a helicopter to help stop what’s now called the Hat Rock Fire, which grew to more than 3,000 acres, Tuesday.

Officials say firefighters are challenged by gusty winds and low humidity.
