This is to those not living in the West, but who are concerned about this non breaking news item affecting the innocent victims living around the massive SW Oregon Fire.

This is the latest update on the fire that is not important except to those living around it.

It appears that they are entering a new phase of fighting this Green Agenda fire.

They should have a fair control on the East and ESE side of the fire.

The potential danger areas are North to the Agness Area, West to Gold Beach, and SW to the Chetco, Brookings area.

The weather for the next two days will be warm to hot in these areas. Hopefully the winds will continue to be from the North and NWN. That way the wind will push the fire towards the backfire and containment lines on the East and ESE side of the fire.

Please ping this to your lists. Thanks!

Long range weather forecast for high winds, high heat, low humidity.

Jean Ferguson, FS information officer says 40 mile winds at Snow Camp.

Resident of Wilderness Retreat, 14 miles up Chetco River, reports "the winds are really kicking up."

Sheriff Kent Owen has ordered in more National Guard to be on standby to assist with security if needed.

I am going to click on the "rural cleansing" keyword and see what pops up. This is quite alarming. I didn't realize just how bad the fires here in Alaska were either. I hope there is no real effort to "cleanse" the rural areas of people. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. BTW, we had rain last night in SW Alaska, and today it is damp and cooler. Sort of more normal for this time of year.
