We’re at the Oregon State Fairgrounds right now where an evacuation center has been set up for people evacuating from the fires. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire #clypiancoverage

The Jackman-Long building houses a shelter run by the Red Cross. There are many tables of food, a large pile of water bottles, dozens of tables, and dozens of beds for evacuees. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire

A representative from Marion County helping with volunteer sign-ins says that they have had hundreds of community members volunteer to help with the shelter. To volunteer you can visit the Marion County website. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #santiamfire

Elders Lata & Rich are volunteers at the shelter. They’ve unloaded cars, given out food, organized resources & more. They hope to have time this afternoon to play guitar with evacuees to help calm their nerves. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #SantiamFire

Bags & bags of dog food, animal feed and cat litter, along with water & other food, has been donated by members of the community to help support the hundreds of animals temporarily housed here. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #smoke #fire #SantiamFire

Animals evacuated from the fires and temporarily housed at the fairgrounds include sheep, goats, pigs, cows, dogs, horses, llamas, chickens, turkeys & more. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire #clypiancoverage

Well over a dozen volunteers spent today taking care of the animals. One told us that they didn’t see as many animals arriving today, however they are still caring for 100s. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire

Volunteers are putting the number of horses at 200+ here at the fairgrounds. They say are expecting 40+ more soon, along with cattle & other livestock, being evacuated from Lincoln county. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #SantiamFire

Along with more typical farm animals and pets, a turtle is also among the evacuated. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #smoke #fire #SantiamFire #clypiancoverage

Volunteers, owners & a couple vets are all working as part of a well organized system to make sure that all the animals are taken care of & any who sustained injuries evacuating are treated. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #smoke #fire #SantiamFire

Evacuees continue to arrive at the Evacuation Center at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. Volunteers will work around the clock to make sure they are supported and their basic needs cared for. #Salem #salemoregon #oregon #oregonwildfires #wildfires #smoke #fire #SantiamFire
