Thousands under evacuation orders as wildfire burns near The Dalles in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge

More than 3,300 homes were under evacuation orders late Wednesday night as firefighters battled a wildfire burning in the Columbia River Gorge that, according to the state fire marshal, has burned to the edge of The Dalles. The fire prompted officials to close a large portion of Interstate 84 in both directions, which snarled traffic on the freeway. Earlier in the day, the Rowena Fire was estimated to be about 500 acres in size and was burning along the freeway in areas near Tom McCall Preserve in Wasco County. The state fire marshal did not have an updated number of acres burned late Wednesday night.
