September 13, 2020 Update

It is important to remember that these fires are not contained! At this time the fire is not threatening the City of Molalla. Good progress has been made on each of the fires and the Beachie Creek and Riverside Fires have not merged. The hard work of our local Molalla Fire Department should be commended. Unbelievable work from homeowners and private individuals has been phenomenal. We should all stop and think about those people who have lost all or part of their homes and livelihoods at this point. Please be patient. We do not control the actions of the fire – it has its own plan.

We should have some good information later today.  The Police Department and City staff are preparing for reentry.  We are working on staging at the High School and Bohlander Field if needed.
