This fire is burning locally here in Southern Oregon.... it is about 8 miles or so near my place... even closer to Fireball 2's place.
it was one of about 20 plus forest fires started by lightning strikes a week a go or so...
it is in steep terrain, along the Rogue River.. too steep to get firefighters in there... there has already been one life taken among the Forest Fighters when a tree fell on him earlier this week.
Every year we have to put up with this crap, courtesy of the the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management "
