Keep Oregon green! 😖
This is so depressing. Hopefully it continues there's no casualties. Here's a Prayer and Blessing to all. Take care and keep being safe.
An open fire card requirement would be a great way to educate people on how to have a safe fire. Just an online course to educate and receive a card. Plus it would give rangers an opening to approach anyone with a fire to check if they have a card and safety is being followed.
For context virtually all wildland fires are human caused. Once you've eliminated lightning and volcanos...
That was brilliant to start a backfire while the wind is blowing crazy. I can see why it's 0 contained.
Prayers for the firefighters and the woods. By any chance does anyone know the elevation of this fire
There are lots of people who are amazingly careless when it comes to starting fires. I hope they get this under control without any loss of life.
Thanks for the people that buy fireworks
Brown grass and wind gosh just easy to burn 🔥 so dangerous and scary
Human caused well who done it then????
They'll never tell you. Humans cause it, what was the method? Someone spotted a homeless guy here with a gas can and a lighter. Hmmm, what was he up to? He got arrested, we got lucky.
That still will not save these people's homes , sad state of affairs.
