Blackburn Says Fire Creates Anxiety In The Community

Hood River Mayor Paul Blackburn told a group of reporters at an Eagle Creek Fire briefing in Troutdale over the weekend that the fire is creating a great deal of anxiety in the community.  Blackburn said while none of the City of Hood River is under any kind of evacuation advisory, the closeness to areas that are is creating nervousness, adding the closure of Interstate 84 is causing a huge disruption on the commerce and the economy of the area.  Blackburn added when he was driven through the Gorge he noted it was not destroyed, and those who love the area will be relieved when they see it.
