Glass-maker suit moves forward — Portland residents can move forward with a $1.2 billion class-action lawsuit against a Portland glass maker over concerns about toxic air pollution. Multnomah County Circuit Judge Stephen Bushong on Friday granted a motion to certify the lawsuit as a class-action against Bullseye Glass Co. The complaint filed in March 2016 alleges Bullseye released arsenic, cadmium and other potentially toxic heavy metals from its plant in southeast Portland over decades. About 2,000 people are part of the lawsuit. Bullseye says it has been in compliance with the state since it started business about 40 years ago. Company vice president Jim Jones said Friday he believes his company will prevail at trial.

Lamp for baby chicks sparks house fire — Fire officials say a heat lamp used to keep baby chicks warm sparked a house fire in Springfield. The Eugene Springfield Fire Department said the man who lived at the house returned home Saturday evening to find a dresser and wall in flames and the house filled with smoke. The man partially put the fire out with a garden hose before firefighters arrived. Fire spokesman Lance Lighty said the owners had brought the baby chicks and heat lamp indoors for the day to keep them safe. Lighty said people should not use heat lamps indoors or near things that can combust. The fire caused an estimated $20,000 in heat and smoke damages.

Hiker rescued from remote area — Crews have rescued a 21-year-old man who was seriously injured in a fall while hiking a wooded area east of Salem. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday morning that Andrew Agnesse, of Beaverton, was airlifted out of a remote area near Henline Falls about 40 miles east of Salem. He was taken to Salem Hospital with serious injuries. Authorities received a report Saturday evening that a hiker had fallen about 30 feet. Rescue teams reached the man that night but had to wait until daylight to evacuate him because of the extreme terrain and dangerous conditions. A team of rescuers began an hourslong effort to carry the man to a place where he could be hoisted and airlifted out. The sheriff’s office said deputies believe Agnesse and his hiking friends were not prepared for the conditions and tried to climb terrain beyond their skill level.
