SATURDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE - VITAE SPRINGS FIRE

Marion Co. Sheriff's Office

Efforts by fire personnel have been ongoing throughout the day with resources from numerous regional agencies assisting. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office has remained in close contact with the Salem Fire Department who is leading firefighting efforts. After consulting with fire officials Saturday afternoon, existing Level 3 and Level 2 zones remain unchanged. Residents in evacuated areas need to be prepared for existing evacuations to remain in place overnight.

We understand the hardship created by the continued evacuations and appreciate the outpouring of support shown by our community partners. A resource center for evacuees remains open at Judson Middle School located at 4512 Jones Rd SE, Salem, as well as a shelter for livestock at the Oregon State Fairgrounds.
