אסונות · Newport Bayfront fireNewport plant fire: Most evacuations lifted, but Bay Boulevard businesses remain evacuatedנכתב 26 באוקטובר 2026 בשעה 04:28 UTCצפייהתמליל0:07Fire drove workers from a seafood plant and sent one firefighter to hospital.0:10Most evacuation restrictions around Pacific Seafood in Newport, Oregon, have now0:15ended, but some waterfront businesses still can't return.0:18The immediate question is which restrictions remain and what officials now know0:21about the ammonia danger.0:23The remaining closure runs along Bay Boulevard between Hatfield Drive and Port Dock0:26One, next to Clearwater Restaurant.0:28Businesses in that stretch remain evacuated.0:31The seafood facility stands on the city's historic bayfront beside Yakina Bay.0:35The sheriff has lifted evacuation levels everywhere else in the affected area.0:39People whose businesses fall inside that remaining stretch still have to stay out.0:43The county's evacuation map remains the designated guide to the active boundary.0:47The evacuation point at Atonement Lutheran Church is also closed.0:50Evacuees had earlier been directed there, and pets were allowed.0:53The sheriff's latest instructions end that arrangement while keeping the Bay0:56Boulevard business evacuation in place.0:58Samca's Elementary had served as the first temporary evacuation point before the1:02move to the church.1:03Emergency officials also reserved nine hundred and eleven for life.1:07Threatening emergencies, asking people seeking incident information to use emergency1:11updates instead.1:12Authorities initially ordered level three or go now evacuations within about one1:16mile.1:17During the afternoon, they lowered some areas to level two readiness while adding1:20other level three zones.1:22Those broader boundaries have since narrowed to the remaining business segment.1:25The plant's refrigeration system uses anhydrous ammonia, a hazardous chemical.1:29Officials feared a release or ammonia in the smoke, prompting the precautionary1:33evacuation.1:33Firefighters kept flames away from the tanks, and officials later assessed the tanks1:37as stable.1:38State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz Temple said the ammonia tank had been found and1:42didn't appear punctured or leaking.1:44That assessment helped ease the immediate concern.1:46While hazardous materials specialists continued checking the air and assessing where1:50any impacts might travel.1:52The Lynn, Benton Hazardous, materials team used specialized equipment to monitor the1:56air and modeled possible impacts to guide evacuations.2:00Teams hadn't detected an ammonia leak.2:02Fire Chief Rob Murphy later said, There's no ongoing risk of ammonia exposure.2:07An ammonia release hasn't been confirmed.2:09Officials haven't supplied final air, monitoring results that would settle whether2:12any ammonia escaped earlier.2:14Smoke remained a concern as firefighters continued working.2:17About thirty to forty people were inside when the fire began, and all got out2:21safely.2:21Pacific Seafood said it's on.2:23Site team members were safe and accounted for.2:25The city reported no civilian injuries.2:28One firefighter did require hospital care.2:30Chief Rob Murphy said the firefighter was taken to hospital for exhaustion.2:33That makes the early blanket statements of no injuries incomplete, even though no2:37civilian injuries have been reported.2:39City officials say firefighters kept the blaze within the affected eleven zero2:43square foot facility.2:44Crews were still battling at Sunday evening, and officials haven't confirmed full2:48extinguishment.2:49Part of the roof reportedly collapsed.2:51Investigators were expected to enter once the fire was out, and the scene could be2:55approached safely.2:56The sheriff's later notices identify the incident at two hundred and thirteen2:59Southwest Bay Boulevard.3:01The first alert used two hundred and three on that street.3:03Officials haven't explained the address differences.3:06The fire was reported around eight.3:08Fifty Sunday morning, October twenty, five well, before the evacuation changes later3:12that day.3:13Highway twenty was earlier closed between West Harney Street and Highway One Hundred3:16One.3:17Its reopening status isn't clear.3:18The remaining Bay Boulevard closure gives no answer about that separate highway3:22segment.3:22Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital was reported open and operating normally3:26during the response.3:27The Oregon Coast Aquarium closed to the public for the rest of Sunday because of the3:30evacuations.3:32Earlier in the response, officials urged people outside evacuation zones to stay3:35indoors where possible.3:37The later notice lifting most evacuations didn't renew that advice.3:40The state fire marshal arranged relief for local firefighters.3:44A Marion County task force with one ladder truck and four engines was scheduled for3:48Sunday evening.3:49A Lane County strike team with five engines was scheduled for Monday morning.3:52Those were announced deployments, with their arrival still unconfirmed.3:56A state regional mobilization coordinator was already on scene working with Newport4:00Fire.4:00The hazardous materials team was expected to remain through the incident.4:03Pacific Seafood Vice President Ashton Meyer said the company expected a major loss.4:07The company hasn't put a dollar figure on the damage or announced when production4:11could restart.4:12Some neighboring waterfront businesses remain unable to return despite the wider4:15evacuation being lifted.4:17Most of the surrounding area can now leave evacuation status.4:19While the Bay Boulevard business segment stays closed, officials say tea here is no4:24ongoing ammonia exposure risk, and final monitoring findings are still awaited.4:28Investigators haven't determined what started the fire.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗מי דיווח
