GRANTS PASS, Ore A six acre fire that prompted multiple agencies across the Rogue Valley last Saturday, was determined to be caused by a bad catalytic converter.
The six acre fire briefly shut down Highway 199 last Saturday. Days later, Oregon Department of Forestry says it found pieces of a catalytic converter on the side of the road.
“When they’re coming out of the car like that in pieces, they’re really hot at 1,700 degrees to about 2,200 degrees.” said Natalie Weber, public information officer with the Oregon Department of Forestry.

Greg Unger with Kellys Automotive in Medford, says most catalytic converters are located on or near the exhaust manifolds. The first sign that they are going bad is when there’s a misfire.
JOSEPHINE COUNTY, Ore. Fire crews near Selma are close to putting out the Redwood Highway Fire.
Highway 199 is now fully re-opened and evacuations in place for several hours Saturday night have been lifted.
The Oregon Department of Forestry said the fire is now 100% lined and 45% contained.
The fire has been burning south along Highway 199 near milepost 23, although ODF said aircraft were able to stop the forward spread.
Crews had one fire at milepost 17, another at 18 and the main fire at milepost 23 when it started around 6:30 Saturday night.
Crews made great progress overnight and limited the fires to about six acres total.
