The radio traffic died down last night around 2:30. I got pulled into work to back fill. My department sent 5 guys and 2 type 6s. The terrain ranges from shitty (steep and brushy) to a valley with residential areas. It is between 20 to 50 miles away from any town of significance. |

Sounds like they are working with first net to set up temporary cell towers. Fire must have taken the existing ones.

Moving rapidly down the Santiam. Idana, Detroit, and Mill City under mandatory evacuation. Stayton and Sublimity under notice to be ready for evacuation. High winds from the east forecast for today.

Just saw a story on the Creek Fire complex in CA (135,523 Acres). Seems there's 50+ people trapped in the fire zone and they can't get to them to pull them out.
Natl Guard helicopters can't get in due to the smoke. They were able to evac 200 people from that fire complex yesterday, but it appears it they were in an area 'less involved'. Prayin' for the people trying get escape these fires.

Windy times in Oregon on Mon/Tues. We had bad smoke come in from the east with the winds yesterday. More clear today.
Good luck, beautiful area down there. Was going to take the road from Cougar Reservoir to Oakridge next weekend on the bike... guess that's out. |

I've heard that Mill City is gone and fires in Lyons. Stayton and Sublimity elevated to level III and being evacuated. Salem on level II, "prepare to evacuate" status.

Quote HistoryQuoted: A bit more geographic information in the thread title would be helpful, there are so many fires right now https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/ Beachie Creek fire is the one coming down the Santiam River Valley from north of Detroit. The web site is 10 hours behind so it's not current. It's frustrating trying to get up to date news because the local news comes out of Portland and they're taking up most of the time with their social justice warrior justification BS. We're getting reports from people that have been or are evacuating now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Damn... Our SAR team sent a crew to help evacuate for a Linn County mutual aid request. We do mutual aid for searches in the Cascades fairly often, but I don't recall a 5am call for mutual aid for evac help, ever. For those unfamiliar with the area, this is steep, dense, tough terrain. It's beautiful. There are tons of criss crossing trails and logging roads and if you are not familiar with them, easy to get lost. There are lots of zones with zero cell service, and without repeaters, plenty of canyons without radio reception. There's no easy access or egress and the main roads are limited. This is horrible now, but we had a cooler night. As it warms up today and the wind picks up, that area could have a major disaster incoming. |

Vida - that's a whole other drainage and a long way from Mill City. FYI for non-locals- McKenzie River is South of Santiam River. I can't believe both are burning. Son of a bitch that's horrible. I hope they can get to the river. What a nightmare. |
