A brush fire has prompted Level 1 — BE READY — evacuations near the community of Goshen, just south of Eugene. The affected area is between I-5 and Hideaway Hills and between Dillard and Hampton Roads, according to the Lane County Sheriff.
That's a reduction from a previous Level 2 — BE SET evacuation that was issued earlier Monday afternoon.
Scanner traffic indicates forward progress on the fire has been stopped. Earlier, aerial resources were used to attack the blaze.
Smoke from the fire periodically blew across I-5, according to an ODOT traffic camera in the area, although the highway remained open. Earier, officials had closed Exit 186 and Oregon Hwy 99, but according to ODOT's TripCheck website, both of those have since re-opened.
According to the state of Oregon's wildfire website, an estimated 153 people live in the area currently under Level 1 evacuations.
