(Troutdale, OR) -- The Corbett Fire Department faced a difficult to reach brush fire last week in the Thousand Acres area near the Sandy River. The thickly wooded area has homeless campers. Firefighters encountered roads with ditches dug to prevent access, barricades, barking dogs and resistance from some residents while responding to the blaze last Tuesday. A drone was used to monitor the fire. Homeless campers were able to put it out. Corbett Fire urges the public to stay away from the area for their own safety.
