Yeah, it’s been just like night time all day. These numerous fires just all broke out over night. Most of them in Trump territory. Go figure.
Here’s a fire at a lumber company in Molalla that started last night:

Another fire just started in Mulino!
This is unreal!
I wonder how many fires will be started tonight?
I am patrolling my property tonight. All night.
And I better not see any suspicious characters.
Just sayin’

Oregon down by Salem in the Cascade foothills. East wind came in and has fed fires making them bigger and more dangerous.

Yes, Oregon with fires all over now including down south along the Umpqua River. Almost every absolutely beautiful area is burning.
