Vanessa Waldref and Dan Fruchter, Partners at Singleton Schreiber, were recently featured in Columbia Gorge News in an article titled “Crews nearly finished with first phase of Rowena Fire cleanup, lawsuit continues.”
In the article, Waldref shared updates on the firm’s ongoing litigation against Union Pacific, noting that about 40 additional residents have joined the lawsuit seeking damages related to the devastating Rowena Fire. The lawsuit alleges negligence by Union Pacific for failing to manage vegetation, operate brake systems properly, and implement emergency response mechanisms. Singleton Schreiber is continuing to gather evidence and remains active in fire-related litigation across the region, including a separate case involving the 2023 Tunnel 5 Fire.
