Other wildfires
Lightning ignited several fires in southern Clackamas County, located in the Mt. Hood National Forest, Aug. 5 after a storm system passed through the area.
The most significant fire in the group is the Sandstone Fire, which has burned approximately 700 acres in the Clackamas River Ranger District on the south side of Thunder Mountain, approximately four miles north of Bagby Hot Springs. The Northern Rockies Team 2, a complex incident management team, began managing the fire the morning of Aug. 7. Additional information can be found on the inciweb website.
On Sept. 3, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office lifted evacuation levels related to the Sandstone Fire.
While the evacuation levels are no longer in effect, closures will remain in the Mt. Hood National Forest for the safety of the public and fire crews working in the area. Officials are asking people to avoid the fire areas to allow firefighters to work safely, as entering into these areas can interrupt firefighters, endanger lives and property, and can result in fines. The US Forest Service has more information on fire restrictions and closures, along with road closure information on its website.
