Smoke rises Friday from the Cedar Creek Fire burning near Waldo Lake.

U.S. Forest Service officials are closing multiple areas of the Deschutes National Forest due to the spreading Cedar Creek Fire.

The fire, which was caused by a lightning strike in early August, is burning about 25 miles west of La Pine, according to a press release. As of Monday morning, the fire had burned 17,625 acres of the Willamette National Forest and was 12% contained.
