Smoke Covers Welches From the 36 Pit Fire in Estacada

Wednesday, September 17, 2014
by Liz Warren

It was a hazy smoky day in Welches yesterday as the smoke settled in from the 36 Pit Fire in Estacada. This is a view of Hunchback mountain from Welches Road.  Fire fighters will increase today to  800 as they battle the blaze which has consumed around 3600 acres as of this morning. The fire jumped the river and is threatening 168 homes but fortunately no structures have been lost as of yet. Good news is that we are expecting possible rain soon which will help the firefighters in their battle the rest of the week. Currently the fire is 7% contained!
