Cedar Creek FireSeptember 17, 2022 Daily Update at 8:45 AM Cedar Creek Fire Quick Facts Size: 110,361 acres Contained: 0% Start Date: August 1, 2022 Origin: 15 miles east of Oakridge, Oregon Cause: Lightning Total personnel: 2,375 Resources: 84 engines, 51 crews, 111 heavy equipment, 12 helicopters Current Situation: The increased acreage is due to firing operations that have been implemented along the primary containment line on the west side of the fire over the past few days.

Oakridge should have moderate to good air quality through the day, as will other areas to the west and southwest. The...
