Major Oregon interstate closed for 70 miles due to wildfire

I-84 was shut for about 70 miles near the Idaho line because of the Fox Fire; it later reopened but intermittent closures remain possible.
The blaze forced a "Go Now" evacuation of Huntington (≈500 residents), has burned roughly 72 sq miles and was 0% contained — smoke was reportedly so thick "you could taste it."
The fire is part of a broader, severe Western U.S. wildfire season driven by dry, hot conditions; other roads (like U.S.‑20) and towns such as Sisters are under closures or evacuation alerts.
