Fires update
A number of fires hap-
pened in recent weeks on
the Mt. Hood National
Forest. The fires brought
the smokey air conditions
to the reservation and the
region.
The fires initially broke
out in early August follow-
ing an afternoon lightning
storm.
Four of the fires were
the Janus Complex, the Kola,
the Ridge fires, and the
Round Lake fire. A fifth
fire, the Ogre Creek, was
reported shortly after, also
in the Round Lake area.
In mid- to late-August
the fires expanded toward
one another, joining together
into the Bull Complex fire.
Several fire teams were
on the scene through last
week. Lead agency was the
Rockies Type 2 Team 4.
The camp was located at the
Timber Lake Job Corps
Center at Ripplebrook.
The Willamette National
Forest and Oregon Depart-
ment of Forestry were both
actively engaged with fire
managers.
Wreck closes 26

tember 3, closed Highway 26 on
