A vehicle-turned-vegetation fire estimated to be 10 to 15 acres on McKenzie View Drive near Hill Road north of Springfield was reported Thursday night.

The wildfire reporting app Watch Duty reported that the fire, which started at a vehicle, "jumped the road." The fire was traveling north uphill.

Oregon State Police had blocked off McKenzie View Drive eastbound in Mohawk Valley, directing drivers to turn around.

The Oregon Department of Forestry said the fire started around milepost 5 of McKenzie View Drive where a car was fully engulfed in flames. Officers began going door-to-door to evacuate nearby homes at approximately 7:30 p.m.
