PokeTransplant Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Howdy folks! Looking at a evacuation warning here at my place (6 miles out) after a drunk driver threw himself into the canyon sparking a fire. There are a lot of naturally caused disasters, but there are more caused by stupid people doing stupid things. Not looking for a fight, just frustrated with humankind. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far East Oregon is still on fire and we are sucking the smoke in SW Idaho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is north east of Bakersfield in the Kern River Valley. I live in a little town, Bodfish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, that's what started that fire? Good Lord. The Park Fire up in NoCal was purposefully started by someone, and they've since been arrested. 240k acres burned so far and 0% contained. I hope that you and yours stay safe, and that you don't experience any property damage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t someone report the cause is Arson in those Oregon fires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relative small fire just above Redfish Lodge appears to be human caused, but not deliberate per reports. Lightning causes enough on its own.

retrofade Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 The Park fire is up over 300k acres burned with no containment. I was just looking at the CalFire website, and it looks like they have most of their tanker assets up there right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many things are as ominous as the approach of an apocalyptic wildfire. Stay safe, and I hope your property emerges unscathed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodfish received evacuation orders a few hours ago. Hope you and yours are safe. I saw the pictures of most of Havilah being destroyed by that Borel fire. For those not familiar Havilah is only about 6 or 7 miles southwest of Bodfish. I need to check latest reports. Hopefully it does not take a run somewhere like Walker Basin.
