20,000 acres gone up the North Umpqua with little control in sight. Smoke so thick that air attack is tough. Over 100 structures burned on the McKenzie. What bugs us is that none of these fires are lightning caused, all are human caused. In our area no one was working in the woods as we are in Level 4 (shut down) fire status. With the high winds, I will not be surprised to find that some of these fires were power line related. We have seen over 10 such fires in our county this year - and that was without the high winds and low humidity that occurred last night
