🔥A wildfire in remote southwest Oregon almost quadrupled overnight Saturday, forcing evacuations and prompting the governor to invoke an emergency act that allows the state fire marshal to take command of suppression efforts.
The Rum Creek Fire, which had covered around 1,200 acres on Friday, increased to 4,700 acres in size, Gov. Kate Brown's office said Saturday.
Authorities also ordered evacuations as a wildfire grew in rugged terrain in western Idaho. The Valley County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook Saturday that evacuation preparedness for some neighborhoods in the rural area “have been changed to a “GO” status, and we are initiating an immediate evacuation of the area.”
Planes were scooping water from nearby Lake Cascade and dumping it on the fire, which had grown to 10,000 acres. Boaters were warned to stay clear of the path of the aircraft.

🚨A Walmart, as well as several houses, were temporarily evacuated on Saturday afternoon after police said they received reports of a shooting in the area.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said three adults and five juveniles were detained in connection to the incident.
Sheriff Javier Salazar said deputies were dispatched to a home along the 74 block of Estrid Trail near the Walmart at FM-78 and Crestway in Converse.
“My understanding is there was a series of shootings overnight that did not involve injuries, thankfully -- but still obviously a huge cause for concern -- and one of the suspects may have been at this home,” Salazar said during a news conference. When authorities arrived at the home, Salazar said authorities heard two gunshots. They also found several people in the backyard, whom all scattered into an alley and toward Walmart when they saw police.
