PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Devastating wildfires have torched more than 1 million acres across Oregon since last week, killing at least 8 and forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee from their homes and hundreds of thousands to prepare to leave their property.

However, evacuation zones have been reduced for several of the major wildfires, including evacuation zones in Clackamas County, Marion County, Lincoln County and Washington County.

Residents should be on the look out for smoldering stumps and vegetation, and are encouraged to check their roof and landscape for embers, wells and pump-houses to make sure they’re working and to call 911 immediately if there are any active fires or any perceived danger.
