Hillsboro Firefighters Help on the Microwave Fire

One engine company from Hillsboro Fire and Rescue was mobilized along with other crews from Washington County to help fight the Microwave Fire last week. Our firefighters were used to help defend the homes in the areas between the fire and the heart of Mosier, a town of about 450 residents in the Columbia River Gorge. Hillsboro Firefighters remained on the fire lines for just over a day. They returned home late Saturday night.
