The Broken Gate Fire grew to 25 acres overnight. The fire started Sunday afternoon and is burning near Wauna, Oregon, off Highway 30 in Clatsop County. The Oregon Department of Forestry-Astoria District (ODF) said the fire is burning on private industrial land.
There are no evacuation orders, ODF said.
"Crews aggressively fought the Broken Gate fire overnight and extended attack continues [Monday] with additional resources on the way," ODF said in a Monday update. "Aircraft has been released from the incident. Today's priority is completing and holding the fire line, particularly to the west."
The cause of the fire is unknown and remains under investigation.
Fire officials asked the public to take extra precautions Sunday regarding compromised air quality and that the area might see smoke in the air from the fire.
There are no reported injuries to civilians or firefighters.
The Oregon Department of Forestry Astoria District and the Oregon Department of Forestry Columbia City Unit Office, Knappa Fire District, Westport Fire and Rescue Oregon, Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District, Warrenton Fire Department, and Lewis & Clark Volunteer Fire Department have helped on the fire.
