LANE COUNTY, Ore. – About 315 structures have been identified as being destroyed by the Holiday Farm Fire.

Lane County officials said emergency management and public safety have been assessing homes and other structures in the fire perimeter since Sunday.

The Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office and an 80-person Urban Search and Rescue team have also been looking for anyone who is unaccounted for.

Officials said there are 1,018 structures in the fire perimeter, and the number of structures destroyed could grow over the lengthy process of evaluating those homes while hazards and ongoing firefighting operations continue.
