Actually fire would be good or wooden stakes used as one would to really kill vampires.

On the Lars Larson program the reporter on scene just reported that the backfires so far have been set with no problem.

Now with the high wind time of the day in that area (2 to 7 pm), they have stopped all back fires and have massive air support to put out any southern push of the fire as the winds come on strong from the north.

Hopefully they had a good day and the back firing will prove a success tonight in halting the southern flow of the fire.

State heath officials issue alert due to smoke

SALEM - State health officials today issued a health alert, warning Oregon residents with asthma and other lung diseases to take extra precautions to protect themselves against smoke from the state's wildfires.

State epidemiologist Mel Kohn says people with asthma are especially vulnerable to the health effects of smoke.

Smoke and ash have affected some parts of the state, particularly in central and southwestern Oregon, for days.

Kohn says people should continue to use their medications, monitor their symptoms and stay in contact with their doctors. They should also consider remaining indoors and refraining from any strenuous activities.

State officials say 290,000 Oregonians have asthma.
