Moving Wood off the Camp Creek Fire
Camp Creek Fire
Publication Type: News 09/10/2023
In order to protect the heavily forested Bull Run Watershed from the Camp Creek Fire, firefighters have cut down trees. Sometimes it's because the trees pose a falling hazard that could injure firefighters. Other times trees are cut to create fireline wide enough to stop the spread of the fire.
The Mount Hood National Forest and the Portland Water Bureau are working on a plan for repurposing the wood from those trees, and help area communities in the process.
