Several wildfires sparked by lightning storms this week are burning across parts of Central Oregon. Firefighters have been working to suppress around two dozen fires.

The fire has prompted a Level 3—Go Now evacuation alert for residents near Willow Butte. A Level 2—Be Set alert is in place for areas south of the fire.

• Sunrise Fire (307 acres, 80% containment) is burning 8 miles south of Paulina on Prineville District Bureau of Land Management lands. On Tuesday, firefighters constructed a fire line completely around the perimeter of the fire.

• Foley Creek Fire (30 acres, 60% contained) is burning on private land 20 miles north of Prineville. This property is protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry.

• UDC Fire (966 acres, 90% containment) burned mainly in grass on the Warm Springs Reservation. As of Thursday the fire activity was minimal and mostly smoldering.

• Elk Fire (2,000 acres, 0% containment) is burning 8 miles north of Bonanza in Klamath County. An evacuation order is in place for areas near the fire — a shelter has been established by the American Red Cross at the Living Spring Church in Bonanza. The fire has damaged a fiber optic cable, disrupting communication for homes and businesses in the area.
