From KGW.com: Winter Fire Becomes 'a Tornado' 07/23/2002, By JEFF BARNARD, Associated Press Writer
After Governor John Kitzhaber toured fires in southern and south-central Oregon yesterday, the southwest flank of the Winter fire near Paisley took off on a rampage through thousands of acres of beetle-killed timber on the Fremont National Forest. It's headed toward 30-year-old tree plantations on U.S. Timberlands property.
Incident Commander Jim Mair pulled firefighters off that sector for safety, and pushed the estimated containment date of the Winter fire -- which had been listed as Thursday -- back indefinitely. He describes the fire as "a tornado moving west."
Pray that those guardsmen have not been placed in harm's way. This does not sound like any mopup fire to me!
GOOD MORNING!!
