A fast-moving wildfire erupted Monday afternoon in Jefferson County, marking the first large fire of the season in Central Oregon—and it’s already demanding serious attention. Burning near Alder Springs in the Crooked River National Grassland, the Alder Springs Fire quickly ballooned to an estimated 1,500 acres by early evening, torching dry scrubland and juniper in the rugged, remote terrain northwest of Redmond.
In the past hour, fire officials have updated the perimeter of the #AlderSpringsFire to 2,500 acres & 0% containment.
