The Oregon Department of Forestry will receive more than $2.2 million in federal funds to help cover costs from fighting the August 2020 Mosier Creek Fire that destroyed eight homes and threatened hundreds of others.  The offices of Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley made the announcement on Thursday.  The $2.22 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency is for state Forestry Department expenses for the fire that began on August 12, 2020, two miles south of Mosier.  The fire grew over two days to 985 acres, threatening 662 residences, one commercial property, along with power lines, and natural resources.  Eight residences and 28 other structures, along with some outbuildings, were destroyed by the blaze.
