300-acre wildfire prompts evacuations near Portland/forest grove

»www.komonews.com/news/lo ··· 301.html

This is a surprise to be that close in to town.
Hope they got it knocked down quickly.

Yes, I'm about 8 miles from that fire We're not "worried" but we are keeping a close eye on things. Current predictions call for temps in the low 90s with winds out of the east, which is away from town and well into the coastal range.

If you want to follow more closely, I recommend:

It is incredibly dry out here and we're not really used it in these parts. There was also a very small orchard fire just outside of town -- the owner was trying to do the right thing and mow down the tall dry grass -- the mower sparked and he caused exactly what he was trying to prevent

There will be a media/press conference at 1:00p from Hagg Lake (the first since the incident command was set up earlier today).
