Shady Cove, Ore. — A dangerous fire broke out near a trailer park in today.
Crews responded to the call at 1:30 Wednesday afternoon for a fire that the Oregon Department of Forestry estimated at 1.67 acres.
No one was hurt and there was no property damage. But the fire burned dry grass and vegetation, and came within at least 100 feet from the closest trailer.

ODF said that with the high temperatures coming up within the next few days, it’s important to be careful and follow the restrictions to prevent wildfires.
