The Austin Fire within Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest is still being actively managed, with Level 3 'Go Now' evacuation notices in effect for regions surrounding the fire, which has seen the tragic line-of-duty loss of a wildland firefighter during its escalation. Located southeast of Estacada, the blaze has scorched over 12,600 acres adjacent to the Collawash River, leading to the closure of Bagby Hot Springs, Lake Harriet, Timothy Lake, and Oregon Highway 224 east of Fish Creek. Emergency area restrictions remain in effect throughout the Clackamas River Ranger District as firefighting teams work towards containment.
