La Grande, OR – A Joint Emergency Operation Center including Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office, Umatilla County Emergency Management, Union County Sheriff’s Office, Union County Emergency Management and Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) remain actively engaged with the Northwest Incident Management Team 7 for Hagen Fire.
The following evacuation levels have been increased from Level 2to LEVEL 3 on the Hagen Fire effective immediately (all other zones remain unchanged):
LEVEL 3 (GO NOW)
Evacuation Zones:
UMC – 1406018-A
This LEVEL 3 area in Umatilla County includes the area south of the NF 3719 road, east to the Umatilla County line.
We continue to instruct residents in all the areas to take extra precautions. While every effort is being made to provide timely updates on evacuation levels and fire behavior, local terrain presents significant communication and access challenges.
Due to the remote nature of these affected areas and the predicted weather conditions, residents must remain extremely vigilant and proactively monitor surrounding fire activity. Fire conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably. Do not wait for an official evacuation order if you feel unsafe or see immediate danger.
Additionally the public is warned that there is a heavy presence of fire apparatus, emergency response vehicles, fire crews and law enforcement operating throughout the area. Members of the public are strictly urged to remain clear, unless travel is absolutely necessary. Unnecessary traffic can interfere with emergency personnel and fire crews and create safety risks to both the public and critical operations.
Continue to follow official fire updates at Paradise, Hagen and Horse Ridge Fire Information.
