‘The Office’ star Rainn Wilson evacuated from Oregon wildfire

SISTERS, Ore. (KPTV) — Rainn Wilson, aka. Dwight on “The Office,” is speaking out after he and his family were evacuated from their Oregon home due to the Flat Fire, which has destroyed at least four homes and is threatening thousands more in central Oregon.

Wilson, best known for playing Dwight Schrute on the NBC hit show “The Office,” grew up in Seattle and apparently has a home in Central Oregon. He took to Instagram on Monday to announce he and his family had made it safely out of harm’s way.

“4th evacuation in 6 years, folks,” the star wrote in the video caption which was posted on Monday.

Wilson’s video featured a photo of him using a garden hose to soak his Oregon mountain cabin’s roof as the fire inched closer.

He also described his family’s last evacuation from the devastating Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, saying they lost “about half of our house.” He jokingly added, “I’m starting to take this personally.”

The comedic actor then went on to explain how climate change fuels the frequency of wildfires in the western U.S.

As of Tuesday morning, the Flat Fire, northeast of Sisters, was about 7% contained and around 22,000 acres.
