Early this morning crews responded to Highway 26 and Stone Rd., for a traffic collision between a pickup and a tanker truck. Two patients were transported. Multiple agencies were on scene to assist along with law enforcement and ODOT. The Hwy. remains closed for cleanup.

Firefighters from ⁦@greshamfiredept⁩ and ⁦@clackfirepio⁩ still putting out flames from tanker fire. Tanker containing gasoline . Authorities don’t expect road to be opened here at 26 and Stone until about noon. #fox12Oregon

@Mcauch0507 We appreciate the heroic efforts of bystanders that day. Multiple agencies were dispatched on the incident, water boats did respond and that information is what was relayed to media in the midst of the emergency. @fox12oregon covered the rescue efforts by bystanders.

@greshamfiredept I am curious why you told reporters they were rescued by boats? I was one of the rescuers and we had zero assistance. There were no boats. Help took 40 minutes to arrive while I rendered aid. Please correct the lie.

Gresham Fire responded to a water rescue incident for the second day in a row at Oxbow Park. 3 patients were transported to the hospital via ambulance.

Many times someone drowns when they try to retrieve something drifting away. The best thing to do is to let it go. If you must retrieve it, please wear a life jacket because things can drift farther and faster than you may think and it’s not worth losing your life over.

⚠️ BURN BAN ISSUED Due to forecasted high temperatures, limited rainfall, and ongoing dry conditions a burn ban has been issued in Multnomah County effective Monday July 25, 2022 at 8:00 AM See attached press release for further information. @CityofGresham
