‘Things I can't replace': Homeowners reflect on Rowena Fire after losing everything
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The Rowena Fire continues to rage in Wasco County, where winds are picking up and creating a challenge for firefighters while local residents reckon with the blaze's aftermath. Helicopters and planes have performed water drops between Mosier and The Dalles all Thursday to aid in the fight against the . READ MORE: Rowena Fire burning in Wasco County was human-caused, wildland officials say Among the devastation are several homes and cars along Highway 30 that are now completely leveled by the fire. One resident, Nick Grzych, showed KOIN 6 News that he lost everything. Where his house stood just days ago, he spent the day sifting through a pile of rubble, burnt metal, ash, and debris. That's all there is left of the home he shared with his son for five years. Grzych said he was visiting the coast with family when evacuation alerts began pouring in Wednesday afternoon. 'I got a Level 3 by the time I was in Cascade Locks, and by the time I hit Hood River, my neighbor called me and sent me pictures of what was going on,' he said. 'It was fast. It was really fast' KOIN 6 spoke with him as he saw the state of his property for the first time. 'I'm more sad about the things I can't replace, the pictures, some of my son's artwork,' he said. 'But the rest of it's just stuff. You know, you can buy more stuff. I'm sad about the missed opportunities of my son growing up here.' Oregon State Police and the Wasco County Sheriff's Office are actively on the ground today combing through the devastation to count the structures lost. At least 20 structures have been destroyed. 'We did everything we could to mitigate the fire danger, but fires don't care,' he said. 'I mean, there's nothing we can do. If I was here, it wouldn't have been any different. So, I'm just glad everybody was safe.' Portland man accused of sexually abusing developmentally disabled child for 7 years Grzych said while he always knew it was a risk living in the area, he never thought he would be impacted by the fires. 'Just kind of one of those, 'You never think it's going to happen to you,' but it's very real. It does,' Grzych said. KOIN 6 spoke with others who lost their home, including Floyd Barber Jr., who has lived in Rowena for 35 years. A barren landscape is all that remains in the area where his home once was. Barber, who just had heart surgery and sells raspberries at the Saturday market, said he and his family are still trying to figure out what they're going to do next without the aid of insurance. 'It's hard to swallow all this. It really is,' Barber said. Tialer Rundell escaped the blaze with his cats, a t-shirt and a phone charger, within minutes of devastation. 'My neighbor came across the street and he was pounding on the door and so I opened the door, and he said, 'There's a fire, we've got to go!' Rundell said. 'We got maybe a quarter of a mile away from the house or so and some of the flames were coming up the embankment, and so we had to drive through it, and so we couldn't see anything in front of us, and we could feel the heat through the car.' Thankfully, Rundell and his young boys are staying with his mother in The Dalles. 'Everything is replaceable. But could've been a lot worse,' Rundell said. There are currently GoFundMe fundraisers for both and . It remains an active fire zone. Wasco deputies say they've had reports of people stopping along 1-84 and other unsafe areas to walk into Level 3 'Go Now' evacuation zones. They are urging people to stay out of these dangerous areas for the public's safety and the safety of the multiple fire crews working to protect these properties. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

‘Horrifying': PNW senators slam forced removal of Sen. Padilla from DHS press conference
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Senators from the Pacific Northwest are reacting Thursday after a U.S. senator was taken to the ground and handcuffed at a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Senator Alejandro Padilla (D-Calif.) was forcibly removed from the press conference after introducing himself and saying he had questions for Noem amid immigration raids in his state that have led to protests. Videos of the incident shows officers aggressively pushing Padilla out of Noem's press conference and eventually restraining him on the floor outside the room. Oregon joins brief opposing Trump's military deployment to California Sen. Jeff Merkley says what happened is an overstep by the FBI and police, resembling that of a dictatorship. 'It's about not wanting to hear a voice of dissent,' he said. 'Our constitution is based on the freedom of assembly and the freedom of speech and the freedom to petition your government with grievances and that was exactly what he was doing. He has a grievance, he feels it is outrageous — and so do I and I must say, much of the nation — that the president overrode the governor of California and the mayor of L.A. and has poured gasoline on this fire.' When , Sen. Ron Wyden put forth what he believes to be the potential broader significance of this incident. 'It is a horrifying video, truly horrifying,' he said. 'And I'm of the view, Mr. President, why I especially wanted to come to the floor, it is not about it happening to a United States senator. Here is what it's about: If they'll do this to a sitting United States senator in front of a roomful of media, imagine what is being done to powerless people in secret.' Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said it was the closest she had come to tearing up on the floor in her 32 years in the Senate. 'It is unacceptable that a United States senator in his own home state, elected by millions of people, went to ask a question for his constituents to get an answer and was brutally thrown to the ground and handcuffed,' Murray emphasized. 'That is wrong and I cannot believe that we don't have senators on both sides of the aisle calling this out as outrageous.' Former Washington state worker claims she was ousted over trans athlete vote Senate Republicans were mostly silent on the situation. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said that he would have a response, 'but I want to know the facts, find out exactly what happened.' In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said Padilla 'chose disrespectful political theater and interrupted a live news conference.' They defended the officers' conduct and claimed erroneously that Padilla did not identify himself and said the Secret Service believed him to be an attacker. The Democrats described Padilla, the son of immigrants from Mexico, as a 'kind and gentle person' and said that disrespect is not a crime in the United States. They also invoked the end of Trump's last presidency, when a mob of his supporters attacked the Capitol and sent them running. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
