The Holiday Farm Fire occurred in the U.S. state of Oregon in 2020. It ranks among the largest wildfires in Oregon history, burning a total of 173,393 acres (70,170 ha) centered on the McKenzie River valley in Lane County.[1][2][3][4]
Beginning near the Holiday Farm RV Resort in Rainbow on the evening of September 7, 2020, due to fallen power lines,[3][4] the fire spread rapidly down the McKenzie valley and up into the densely wooded foothills on both sides of the river and Oregon Route 126. Driven by unusually strong winds from the east during the often-driest time of year in western Oregon, the fire grew most extensively on September 8 and was estimated at 105,000 acres (42,000 ha) in size by the morning of September 9. Many people evacuated to Springfield. Most structures in the community of Blue River were destroyed, as were numerous properties in nearby communities.[1]
