Flames Rise From Trees Amid Emergency Evacuation in Clackamas County, Oregon

Flames were seen rising from a tree along Highway 224 in Clackamas County, Oregon, in footage shared on September 10 as large areas remained under an evacuation order amid wildfires across the state.

With four major fires burning in the county, according to KATU 2, authorities applied various levels of evacuation warning, with most of the southern half of Clackamas County told to leave immediately.

Local media said fires had “forced evacuations, burned through at least two towns, and sent thick smoke across the western part of the state.”
