The fires were tragic in my area.
One fire (Alemda) started near I-5, 12 miles South of me (25 mi North of CA border) and burnt the town of Phoenix and part of the town of Talent. More that 1000 homes destroyed and 6 or 7 dead. Arson caused. Within 2 days another arson fire, started 5 miles South of me, near a Pilot truck stop, Costco and 2 hotels, as well as numerous other businesses. They got that one out within 12 hrs. It burnt 2 miles near I-5.
This all happened 2 weeks ago and is all safe now but, there are several very large fires still going, 90 and 200 miles to the North of me and 50 miles to the West, along the CA/OR border. Plus a few more smaller fires.
Most fires here seem to have started near a state hwy.
