A wildfire that reached the southwest edge of Rufus on Monday night is estimated to be about 95 percent contained today. Sherman County Sheriff’s Sergeant James Burgett says the fire that started around 9:15 p.m. was “right at people’s backyards.” Burgett said as of this morning there were a couple of small areas of fire remaining, but all threats to homes and structures have been dealt with. People were evacuated in the area of the Rufus RV Park during the peak of the fire, but they have been able to return to their homes. Power is out in Biggs as a result of the fire, and Pacific Power reports crews are working on restoring electricity to that area, estimating restoration before 9:30 p.m. Size of the fire is now estimated at 485 acres. The Oregon State Fire Marshal’s office is investigating to determine the cause of the fire. Burgett says there were no major injuries as a result of the fire, but there were some reports of smoke inhalation. North Sherman Fire, South Sherman Fire, Klickitat County fire departments, and the Bureau of Land Management were involved in the firefighting effort.
