Fire Season is here.
quote:LIGHTNING STRIKES SPARK DOZENS OF FIRES ACROSS OREGON
With many local firefighters battling fires in the Umpqua Basin, eastern Oregon and southern Oregon, the state's fire season is in full force.
Lightning storms that passed over Oregon the weekend of July 15 sparked many of those fires, including the South Umpqua Complex and Silver Creek Fire.
Meanwhile, officials suspect arson may have caused the Substation Fire near The Dalles.
Several fires are threatening homes, residents and farmland, and officials ask people in those areas to stay up to date on evacuation orders. One man died in the Substation Fire while trying to create a fire line, authorities said.
Strike teams from Lane County have been sent out to help battle the Substation Fire and the Garner Complex in Josephine County.

So far the ones near me have been put out quick.

The illegals have been setting more fires than lightning has.

We're sitting under the worst smoke/haze that I have ever seen here. I can barely see the mountain that is three miles across the valley from me. All the smoke here is from California. Several of our fire crews are over in California helping them out. 0 -

Nature taking care of the under brush. With the rains we had it'll be a long black summer. Oh just in time the Highway 1 is open for the Big Sur to catch a fire.0 -
With the way Oregon is Burning there will be no crews from here heading south like they normally do.
But unlike last year we have only had one smokey day so far. Last year if was every day.0
