Portland Forest Fire Under Control After Four Days
A four day Portland Northwest Hills fire blackened 1600 acres but was controlled by 1000 firefighters and volunteers. Across the West Coast, four major fires remained uncontrolled along a 1400 mile front from northern California to British Columbia with about 500 fires burning over 60000 acres. Weather clouds offered brief aid but forecasters warned of a return to severe conditions and logging bans extended through Washington Oregon and British Columbia. An 800 man crew fought an out of control 15000 acre blaze on the Umpqua river near Coos Bay, the region’s lumber hub.
