Four Corners Fire just 4% contained near Cascade

The Four Corners Fire continues to burn, and has now consumed nearly 8000 acres and is just 4% contained, according to an update from the U.S. Forest Service.

Evacuation orders are still in place for anyone in the God’s Acres and French Creek areas, while the Campbell Creek area is under a pre-evacuation notice.

Other nearby areas are urged to prepare for evacuations.

The fire began August 13 near Lookout Peak in the West Mountain range, west of Cascade. The cause is currently undetermined but thought to be caused by storms from last week.

Anyone in the area may be able to see the fire from the lake or Highway 55 but officials say there is no need to report the flames as crews are already working on the fire.
