Fire spreads into remote part of Crater Lake park
Middle Fork Fire more than doubles in size
A forest fire burning in the Sky Lakes Wilderness more than doubled in size and spread into a remote southwestern portion of Crater Lake National Park and areas of the Fremont-Winema National Forests.
The Middle Fork Fire, estimated at 7,700 acres Wednesday, expanded to 17,800 acres Friday night, according to Forest Service officials. The lightning-caused blaze started in mid-August, but was not a major concern until earlier this week. It rapidly advanced Wednesday and Thursday. See full story in Saturday's print edition.
