Wind Damage Update!
High winds that impacted the City of Detroit and surrounding areas subsided this morning, allowing recovery efforts to begin. The storm caused damage to homes and the Detroit Civic Center; however, no injuries have been reported.
The City extends its sincere gratitude to the many volunteers from Detroit and the Willamette Valley who assisted with debris removal and hazard mitigation. Their swift response and use of equipment helped clear streets and address dangerous trees. Preliminary inspections at the Detroit Civic Center identified broken windows caused by falling trees and limbs. The site has been cleared, and a comprehensive building inspection will be conducted. Residential damage throughout the city ranges from minor to complete loss.
Mayor Trett has declared a State of Emergency and has notified Marion County Emergency Management to support cleanup and restoration efforts. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.Click Here for More Information.

Fire of 2020 - What Took Place
The fire of September 9, 2020 produced damage of monumental, catastrophic proportions. The fire started as three separate fires. The Beachie Creek, Lionshead, and P-515 fires were ignited by lightning on August 16, 2020. These three fires gradually grew in size, before explosively spreading in early September during a heatwave, fanned by powerful east winds. Soon after, the Beachie Creek and Lionshead Fires merged along with the P-515 fire. The fire destroyed over 1,500 structures in the Santiam Canyon, which included massive destruction to the city of Detroit, becoming one of the most destructive wildfires in the history of Oregon.
