Narrows Fire Rekindles Clackamas Memories | Portland News
Description
A new fire is flaring up in Clackamas County, reigniting years after the devastating Riverside Fire of 2020 — now burning through dead trees left behind from that blaze. The U.S. Forest Service is deploying a Type One helicopter to drop water, citing steep terrain and falling snags as too dangerous for ground crews. That original fire destroyed 50 homes and 150 other buildings — a human-caused tragedy still echoing in the community. Thankfully, Highway 224 and parts of the Clackamas River remain open. The Narrows Fire is under close watch, with air support critical as it smolders in the wake of last year’s catastrophe.
