You are welcome. You or someone needs to pump in the fire data from Washington to these threads.

This is a partial update on the fire that I have been watching as the prime example of the roadless, no harvest, no thinning to make a wilderness area into a tinder box, the Biscuit Fire:

Biscuit Complex

The Malheur Complex, along with the Biscuit Complex fires, have been top concerns for the coordination center in Portland.

Burning 17 miles southwest of Cave Junction, the Biscuit Complex has burned 17,750 acres and is zero percent contained. Firefighters there are asking for assistance from the Type-One firefighting team, an elite unit.

There are 734 firefighters at the Biscuit Complex. The blaze jumped the Illinois River on Wednesday night and headed south. It threatens homes at Oak Flats, and firefighters have been moved back to safety zones.

This is the pride of the ONRC and other Eco Facists re a wilderness where there are no roads, no harvesting of even dead trees. This was the crown jewel of the no nothing eco Fascists in the Oregon area.

When a fire jumps a river, it is really bad folks!
