Oregon Wildfire Update: Live report from the Fox 12 Oregon newsroom on the dangerous smoke and air quality choking Mount Hood communities. The active Grasshopper Fire has triggered Level 1 evacuation notices for Government Camp and surrounding areas. Thick smoke has pushed the Air Quality Index (AQI) to hazardous, record-breaking levels—surpassing 1,000 in Government Camp and reaching over 1,200 in Rhododendron, where ash is falling like snow. In this video, reporter McKenna Marks gives a first-hand look from Government Camp at how local businesses and residents are coping, what safety precautions you need to take (including wearing N95 masks), and what to expect if evacuation levels rise. Stay tuned for continuous updates and live coverage.
