Rebuilding after a wildfire can be difficult and feel painfully slow. The fires that burned throughout the Santiam Canyon have been referred to as the Beachie Creek, Santiam, and Santiam Canyon fires. Today, the fire that ignited before Labor Day in the Opal Creek Wilderness is known as the Beachie Creek fire, and the fires believed to be started by the power company on Labor Day and after are known as the Santiam Canyon fire.

The Santiam Canyon fire grew quickly to cover tens of thousands of acres before it was finally contained on October 31st, 2020. The fire completely devastated several communities in the North Fork Santiam River and Little North Fork River drainage including Gates, Mill City, Lyons, and Mehama, among others.

If you suffered property damage, business loss, or were forced to evacuate as a result of the 2020 Labor Day fires throughout the Santiam Canyon, you may be entitled to monetary relief. Contact our team of attorneys today to join hundreds of clients seeking to rebuild and recover from the fire.
