Wildfires Force Evacuations in Washington's Columbia Gorge and Oregon Coast

New fast-growing wildfires have prompted evacuations on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge and along the Oregon Coast. The Tunnel5 brush fire near Underwood in southeast Skamania County, Washington, has grown to about 125 acres and is threatening around 100 structures. Additionally, Lincoln County in Oregon issued evacuations after an active fire was reported along Highway 101, but the evacuations were later canceled. Highway 101 may remain closed for a few hours.
