Fire Rages In The Columbia River Gorge




OPB's Think Out Loud show

Summary: The Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia River Gorge got worse overnight, jumping across the river to the Washington side. It has lead to evacuations and the closure of I-84 in both directions from Troutdale to Hood River. And it has brought hazy skies, bad air, and ash to the Portland metro region. Meanwhile, dozens of other fires are blazing around the state. We check in with fire officials and others about air quality and fire conditions.
