Wasco County residents living on a 17-mile stretch along the Deschutes River have been ordered to immediately evacuate their homes Thursday due to a wildfire near Dufur.

A Level 3 evacuation notice has been issued for residents from Sherars Falls to Mack's Canyon, the county sheriff's office said around 7:55 p.m..

The sheriff's office announced just before 6 p.m. that crews were responding to a fire in a field on Long Hollow Road. No injuries have been reported.

The blaze is burning an estimated 6,300 acres, according to the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center.

The latest wildfire comes after the Substation fire burned nearly 80,000 acres of land in Wasco and Sherman counties after it began July 17. The fire is about fully contained as of Thursday.
