As of 1:00 p.m. this afternoon, September 27th, 2021, all evacuation levels for Breitenbush Hot Springs Resort have been lifted. The decision to lift the Level 1 – Be Ready evacuation advisory was made after consulting with fire management officials who are leading response efforts on the Bull Complex Fire north of Detroit. While the evacuation levels have been lifted, many areas remain closed to the public due to the 2020 wildfires in the Santiam Canyon. We want to encourage residents to check ahead when planning a visit to outdoor areas in Marion County to ensure their destination is open to public access.
Regular updates on the status of the Bull Complex fire can be found by visiting https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7773/ or by following the Mt. Hood National Forest page on Facebook.
