Grasshopper Fire Ravages Oregon Families | Portland News

The Grasshopper Fire in Oregon is tearing through communities, destroying homes and outbuildings as it scorches over 83,000 acres—just 20% contained—with wind and dry conditions making containment a brutal fight. One family lost their cherished ancestral property, including their grandma’s home and dad’s house, forcing them to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs. A fundraiser has launched from afar as loved ones can’t be there to help. Over 1,800 firefighters and air crews are battling the blaze using mobile retardant bases and relentless aerial drops, but officials warn the tough conditions will persist.
