    At least six new fires, all started by lightning, have been reported north of Interstate 84 in eastern Baker County, according to the BLM Vale District dispatch center, and one fire has grown to an estimated 4,000 acres and prompted a Level 3 evacuation notice — leave now — for residents on Plano, Vandecar and Manning Creek roads.

    The fire nearest the freeway, the Crandall Fire between Plano and Manning Creek roads, is estimated at 10 acres, and was 80% contained as of 8 p.m. There are two BLM engines working on the fire, with volunteers from the Burnt River Rural Fire Protection Association, said Larisa Bogardus, public information officer for the BLM's Vale District.
