Also heard this morning that the McKenzie River corridor is burning out of control. The most beautiful recreational land in Oregon. I grew up hunting blacktail and black bear there, picking huckleberries in the high country, bowhunting elk, fishing for oversized rainbows. Fire going right up the river as I understand it, but sounds like it started down low near Springfield in town and is following the wind up the west slope of the Cascades.
Usually these forest fires start in the timberlands, not in town. Seems to me there's an awful lot of residential and commercial land fire interface with most of these fires which is far above the norm. If true, that would seem to indicate someone is deliberately setting them to inflict damage. At ths point, that's just my opinion. Time will tell.
