🚨 NEWPORT BAYFRONT FIRE: EVACUATION UPDATE
Sunday, October 25, 2026 | 1:54 PM

EVACUATION LEVELS HAVE CHANGED!

According to the latest Watch Duty update, most areas west, south and east of the Pacific Seafood fire have been downgraded from Level 3 (GO NOW) to Level 2 (BE SET).

🔴 LEVEL 3: GO NOW
A section north and northeast of the fire remains under mandatory evacuation. Anyone in this area must leave immediately.

🟡 LEVEL 2: BE SET
Most of the previously evacuated area has been downgraded to Level 2. Residents should remain prepared to evacuate at a moment's notice. Conditions can change quickly.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: The fire remains an active industrial emergency with reported ammonia hazards. A reduction in evacuation level does NOT mean the area is free of danger.

📍 CHECK YOUR EXACT ADDRESS!

Do not rely on the earlier one-mile evacuation notice to determine your current evacuation level.

Use the updated Watch Duty map or Oregon RAPTOR map to confirm which evacuation zone applies to you.

Please continue to keep roads clear for emergency responders and follow official instructions.

Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe. 💚

NEWPORT BAYFRONT INDUSTRIAL FIRE
Sunday, October 25, 2026 | Approximately 1:00 PM

LEVEL 3 EVACUATION: GO NOW

A major fire is underway at the Pacific Seafood processing facility on Newport's Bayfront. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office has ordered a Level 3 evacuation within a one-mile radius of 213 SW Bay Boulevard.

If you are in the evacuation area, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Do not wait to see or smell smoke.

🔥 WHAT WE KNOW

- Firefighters were dispatched at approximately 8:51 AM.
- Approximately 40 firefighters were reported on scene by midmorning, with mutual aid from departments throughout Lincoln County.
- Newport Fire Chief Rob Murphy confirmed ammonia is present in the smoke. The concentration is not yet known.
- A partial roof collapse has occurred inside the facility.
- No injuries have been reported in available updates. Pacific Seafood says all employees are accounted for.
- The cause of the fire has not been confirmed.

⚠️ AMMONIA SAFETY

Ammonia is used in industrial refrigeration and can cause serious irritation or injury to the eyes, throat and lungs.

Ordinary face masks and N95 respirators DO NOT protect against ammonia gas.

If you are under a Level 3 evacuation order, leaving the area is the priority. Do not rely on a mask to protect you.

If you are outside the evacuation area, stay away from the Bayfront, limit exposure to smoke, and follow instructions from local emergency officials.

We had a packed room and a whole lot of learning at our October meeting!

A huge thank you to North Lincoln Fire & Rescue Captain Riley Schroeder for teaching our community hands-only CPR! Knowing how to recognize cardiac arrest and start chest compressions can make a lifesaving difference while emergency responders are on their way.

💚 Another big thank you to Ris and Laura for teaching everyone about Narcan and tourniquet use, demonstrating how to use this emergency equipment, and getting our newest CERT members equipped with their Stop the Bleed and Stop the Burn kits!

We covered a LOT of ground in one evening, and we're grateful to everyone who showed up ready to learn.
