I don't know what the current status of the fire is.

It is the weekend, so the Oregonian and Oregon Live have their weekend feel good news up with local murders and rapes. This is not news to the Green Jihadists controlling Portland.

Good Morning!

Hope all of you are safe and reasonably smoke free today.

This is it for now.

Please post what you are aware of.

Good morning!

This is the latest on the Druid/Green Jihadist Rural Cleansing fire in SW Oregon.

No one has written a story on how the Kalmiopsis Wilderness no longer exists. It was struck by lightening in July. As per the Druid/Green Jihadist mentally ill agenda, lightening is considered to be a good fire. So the Floristry Circus in that area, held hands and chanted "Fire is Great! Fire is Good!"

When it threatened to burn out 17,000 innocent victims living in the Illinois River Valley area, they decided that it should be fought outside of the former wilderness area.

The fire in the former wilderness area will have to be put out by nature as it is against the law for evil men to put it out. So it will burn until this fall when the fall/winter rains come.

The weather will be heating up this weekend and really getting hot next week. Now those living in Curry County to the west of the burning former Wilderness are in danger and will be in danger most until the former Wilderness burns out.

This is a perfect text book example of the Druid Green Jihadist Fire Agenda in action.

Thanks for your help in pinging and keeping this sad story alive on Free Republic.

Meanwhile, the fire has given crews the opportunity to deploy the PHF 20T, a converted 1960s German military tank. The vehicle is being used to snuff out hot spots that could spring up around the perimeter near O’Brien.

Built in Germany and distributed in the United States by the Texas-based Texoga company, the tank has been extensively converted for fire protection purposes. It is equipped with a 5,000-gallon water storage tank and a nozzle capable of launching 200 to 500 gallons of water every minute from a turret at its front.

The ultimate in 'Super Soakers'. Be the first on your block to get one.

Really kewl! I've gotta get me one of those things!

Now, I'm off to read the rest of the thread.

"Gusty winds remained a threat Saturday to fire crews struggling to contain what has become Oregon's largest wildfire in over a century."

This is from KGW 8. It's about the only thing that's not included in your article. I might add that they are expecting winds up to 50 MPH today.

BTW, Good morning, Gramps!

Some good news this morning - Sheriff Owens has received contact from New York regarding the Florence fire. A group from Agness went to there help post September 11. Now maybe we'll get some national coverage. No details yet.

Brookings fire chief Bill Sharp reported minimal fire activity yesterday, mainly in the Quail prairie and Boulder creek areas. Sharp said there are a lot of roads outside the wilderness area and they have been tied together to make firebreaks and firelines.

The Florence fire has been renamed, is now the Biscuit fire. The City of Florence apparently objected to the name.

Still only pre-evac notices. KURY radio reported this morning some Gasquet residents had declined to leave their homes. I'm hearing it will be much the same at Agness.
