The Oregon Department of Transportation also closed the eastbound lanes of I-84 from Pendleton to Baker City and warned Tuesday night that travelers should expect continued highway closures in eastern Oregon as fire crews actively fight fire from the interstate.

It had scorched nearly 375 square miles (971 square kilometers) as of Tuesday afternoon.
