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.

I'm out of here for a while.

Take care.

If anyone has some live reports of the Illinois Valley Wilderness Tinder Box Fires, please post them.

There is a real lack of real news from the Oregon tv, radio stations and newspapers.

Grampa Dave,

I understand Lars did part of his show yesterday on MY area. Diamond Lake/Lemolo Lake. I didn't hear the show but spent a good deal of time this morning looking for a transcript. I thought maybe on the KXL website. But it looks like that website is down. Any suggestions?
