Cinder is creation and destruction. The warmth of a low ember, a mesmerizing flame, wildfire’s beautiful, devastating dance. 

It’s an ode to the duality of man. 

Fire forges masterpieces, fearsome swords and delicate glassware alike. It cleanses, illuminates, and leaves black in its wake. Since the Dawn of Time cultures have tended Eternal Flames across the earth, each blaze a tribute to both darkness and light. 

Cinder is Portland’s Eternal Flame, honoring the hunters, farmers, and craftsmen who are this city’s spark of life.
