Emergency crews in Clackamas County were treating six people who may have suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning in Gladstone on Tuesday morning as the region continues to endure widespread power outages.
Few details were immediately available, but the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said the poisoning may have occurred after a generator was left running in an enclosed area attached to a home on East Fairfield Street.
The condition of all of the people affected was not immediately available.
More than 140,000 people were still without power Tuesday morning, some of them for the fourth straight day, after multiple rounds of snow and ice brought down trees and power lines across northwest Oregon.

Governor Kate Brown issued the following statement Sunday on the continued severe winter weather and power outages across the Willamette Valley:
“Yesterday, I declared a state of emergency to ensure that all necessary state resources are available on the ground to help Oregonians impacted by this winter storm. Severe wind and ice conditions caused extensive damage to the electric system, with utilities reporting thousands of downed power lines, as well as damage to transmission lines and substations. As a result of this historic damage, I have been informed that at least 200,000 Oregonians are still without power as of noon on Sunday.

(Tribune News Service) On Sept. 14, 1979, two hikers discovered human remains off the steep trails near Multnomah Falls. They found a partial skeleton, eyeglasses, a leather jacket, hiking boots and a baseball cap printed with the letters NT. Based on the bones and hair found at the scene, investigators determined the body likely belonged to a man, between 20 and 35 years old, with a thick, curly beard. A news brief that ran in The Oregonian noted that the remains “had been exposed to the elements for quite some time.” Police sent the skull and mandible to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., for an anthropological exam, which concluded (based on skull measurements and the fact that it was found in Oregon) that the person who died was likely African American. The Smithsonian provided a line art drawing of what he may have looked like.

One of the area s main utilities, PGE, warned Sunday that some people could experience multiple or prolonged outages as more wind and ice threaten to bring down tree limbs and power lines.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown praised utility workers and first responders but urged everyone else to remain at home as much as possible.
