Flag Point Lookout Lost to Grasshopper Fire | Portland News
Description
A beloved fire lookout on Mt. Hood, the Flag Point Fire Lookout, has fallen to the Grasshopper Fire — a symbol of community resilience and wildfire defense now lost to flames. Firefighters fought valiantly, clearing brush and deploying retardant in a desperate bid to save it, but unpredictable fire behavior and thick smoke forced them to retreat. As the Grasshopper Fire rages on — zero percent contained and devouring over 30,000 acres — evacuation orders are in effect and forest trails are closed. The battle continues, with safety of nearby communities at the forefront.
