A wildfire burning west of the Three Sisters Wilderness has prompted evacuation orders for a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office said.
The Linton Creek fire, part of the North Willamette Complex west of Middle Sister, has grown to over 500 acres since the fire was reported Friday afternoon.
A Level 3 (go now) evacuation order is in place for the Pacific Crest Trail near Linton Meadow and Husband Lake.
“There is immediate danger and you should evacuate immediately,” the sheriff’s office said. “Leave immediately and as quickly as possible.”
Officials said entry to the areas under evacuation are prohibited until conditions are safe.
