(Clarno, OR) -- Wildland fire crews responded to a 300-acre fire in North-Central Oregon on Sunday attacking the flames from both the ground and air. Wheeler County Fire and Rescue and interagency fire crews are in the area nine miles north of Clarno. Helicopters pulled water from the John Day River as the Butte Creek Fire grew to around two-thousand acres. The cause is under investigation.
