The Cow Valley Fire continues to burn in Malheur County as the blaze becomes a megafire spanning more than 200 square miles.
The wildfire sits at an estimated 129,367 acres with 0% containment, according to the State of Oregon’s Fires and Hotspots Dashboard as of 7 a.m. Monday morning. Over the weekend, the Fire Marshal mobilized task forces from Umatilla, Multnomah, Marion, Lane and Clatsop counties to control what officials described as a “fast-moving wildfire” pushed by strong winds and triple-digit temperatures. “Fire activity on the Cow Valley Fire has picked up on the southern side of the fire and preparations should be made in case weather conditions and fire behavior increase,” officials said in a post on social media.
Level 2 “Get Set” evacuations remain in place for Westfall area including the Bonita, Indian Valley, Clover Creek areas.
