The Bonneville Power Administration has filed a motion to be dismissed from three federal lawsuits related to 2020′s Holiday Farm Fire, which devastated Blue River and several other communities east of Eugene, Oregon.

Pacific Power, part of PacifiCorp, said Monday it has agreed to a $178 settlement with over 400 Oregon plaintiffs in the latest multimillion-dollar payout related to the deadly 2020 wildfires that ravaged the state.

Dozens of Oregon wineries and vineyards have sued PacifiCorp over the deadly 2020 wildfires that ravaged the state, alleging that the utility’s decision to not turn off power during the Labor Day windstorm contributed to blazes whose smoke and soot damaged their grapes and reduced their harvest and sales.

A jury in Oregon has ordered PacifiCorp to pay more than $42 million to 10 victims of devastating wildfires on Labor Day 2020 — the latest verdict in litigation that is expected to see the electric utility on the hook for billions in damages.

The U.S. government is threatening to sue PacifiCorp to recover nearly $1 billion of costs related to the 2020 wildfires in Southern Oregon and Northern California

People who lost their homes in the 2020 Labor Day fires could be eligible to receive direct financial help from an Oregon state grant to repair, rebuild or replace their homes.

For the second time this month, the utility provider PacifiCorp will pay out hundreds of millions of dollars to end a lawsuit over its alleged role in the devastating Oregon wildfires in 2020.

The settlement resolves years of legal wrangling over the Archie Creek Fire, which burned more than 130,000 acres along the North Umpqua River near Glide, Oregon.

State officials have spent or accounted for a $150 million wildfire recovery program from the Legislature though survivors of the fires are far from whole.

Three years after the 2020 fires devastated communities in Southern Oregon, survivors are still recovering from the fires' impact on their homes, their stability and their mental health. A local long-term recovery group is helping support residents who've experienced trauma.

Oregon's state housing agency did not say when the homes will be rebuilt, where the funding will come from or when residents will be able to move in.
