Explosions and a large fire at a Cornelius business that produces ethanol prompted an evacuation Tuesday afternoon.
Firefighters were dispatched at 1:30 p.m. to initial reports of a fuel tank on fire at a facility on the 500 block of North 4th Avenue. Crews initially began working to extinguish the fire but were pulled back to a safe distance due to “explosions and erratic fire conditions,” Forest Grove Fire & Rescue spokesperson Matt Johnston said Tuesday night.
The Cornelius Fire Department said the fire was “under control” a little after 7 p.m. Hazmat and Portland Airport crews were re-assessing the situation in hopes of fully extinguishing the fires. Shortly after, residents were able to to their homes and roads were re-opened.
Senator Chuck Riley proposes westward MAX expansion to Cornelius and Forest Grove.
For more than 15 years now, state Sen. Chuck Riley has been pushing for an extension of the Metro area s regional light rail system beyond Hillsboro to Cornelius and Forest Grove.
Why?
When asked that same question during a conversation with the District 15 Democratic representative this past Monday, Feb. 8, the veteran legislator responded rather simply: Why not?
Riley introduced Senate Bill 308, which directs TriMet to study the feasibility of extending the light rail system westward to Forest Grove, on Jan. 11.
It was in 2005 that the senator first broached the possibility when he was in the House and was asked to support a similar bill for what became the MAX Green Line to the Clackamas Town Center.
