This would seem to merit deeper discussion of its importance and consequences. BTW I called USCG and confirmed the Columbia is still closed to vessels mid day September 6. ☆

Thanks for calling Bri. Here is the latest update via InciWeb from the US Forest Service
[1], but, it's from the morning. They'll most likely post another report around 5 PM or later. Feel free to update as needed, important that we keep this resource updated as best as possible for visitors and residents in the area.

New images as of 9/7
Just uploaded new photographs from US Forest Service, including pics of the historic Multnomah Falls Lodge surrounded by smoke. Check them out
here.

One topic to include is that this wildfire has threatened the Bull Run watershed, which is the source for drinking water for Portland & a large share of the metro area. Another is the ash fall Portland inhabitants endured the first week of September. I'd add these, but I don't have any citations at hand for them. (And Twitter ought to provide better images of the ash than I have on my cellphone.) --

All the trails are open now….
Citation(s) needed…. Probably good cross-references to other Columbia River Gorge / Oregon / wildfires / Forest Service articles as well. My understanding is that there may have been some important lessons learned from this fire — although nothing like the major policy and law impacts from the catastrophic 2020 Oregon wildfires that killed people and destroyed small towns (ditto California).
I’m just a low-capacity occasional copy editor, so enhancing this article is not something I am likely to do. Thanks to all created it and enhanced it over the last 5 years!!!

Replaced unreferenced sentence about trails that were damaged and closed with updated info that they are now open.
