A lengthy stretch of highway east of Portland, Oregon, remained closed Tuesday morning as crews battled a growing wildfire that has also caused evacuations and sparked blazes across the Columbia River in Washington state
Hundreds of people have been forced to evacuate because of a seven-square mile (18-square kilometers) fire that started Saturday.
The blaze, which officials think may have been caused by fireworks, forced the shutdown of more than 30 miles (48 kilometers) of Interstate 84 east of Portland through the scenic Columbia River Gorge.
Authorities said Tuesday that embers from the fire caused a new blaze across the Columbia River in Washington state.
Evacuation orders remained in place in and around Cascade Locks, Oregon, for dozens of structures and businesses.
