Gov. Kate Brown invoked Oregon’s Emergency Conflagration Act Thursday night in response to a Wallowa County fire.
The Grizzly Bear Complex, which is threatening more than 100 homes and structures, including a school, is straddling the Washington-Oregon border.
It’s estimated to be more than 12,000 acres in size.
The governor’s declaration authorizes the Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal to assist local agencies fighting the fire.
