The Holiday Farm Fire has grown to 105,000 acres and encompasses an area of 164-square miles.
Officials say the fire is currently burning on both sides of Highway 126 and the McKenzie River. It continues to move west.
Evacuations remain in effect, impacting the communities of Vida, Blue River, Mohawk, Marcola, McKenzie Bridge, Leaburg, and Walterville.
In the latest fire update, officials say several roads blocked by fire and debris prevented a number of residents from evacuating on their own. After several roads were cleared, firefighters helped 46 people escape the evacuation zone Tuesday afternoon.
Fire managers say rescue, evacuation work and road clearing continue throughout the area.
