Due to dangerous and unpredictable conditions in the Santiam Canyon, we are continuing to limit access to these areas to Fire and Law Enforcement personnel only. However, we have set up a phone line to call into and have a deputy go check on your residence and report back to you with a status update on the condition of your property in DETROIT and IDANHA only at this time.
Please call 503-798-6823 between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. 7 days a week to request a check on your residence. We will need the following information when you call:
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- Anyone missing from the location, including name, age, phone number
- Any animals at location
We will process these requests as we receive them and a deputy will call you back. We understand the anxiety of not knowing the condition of your property and want to get you answers as soon as we safely can.
