You never know what might happen on night shift patrol for the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. One particular call early Monday morning turned out to be a little hotter than deputies expected.
While arresting a driver suspected of driving under the influence of intoxicants around 3 a.m., deputies noticed a brush fire that had broken out practically on the shoulder of Highway 213, near the Interstate 205 overpass. The fire was soon raging into the sky, as seen in a video released on the CCSO’s Twitter account.
