I know we have been talking about the MP97 fire in a few different threads. I think it's time to dedicate a thread specific to fires that impact us locally so we can have an easy to find reference for each summer ruining fire(s). Air quality talk can still live in the other thread. I just want to have a place I can refer to in the future regarding fire talk.
Having said that, this is from a fire manager meeting yesterday in Glendale.
“We have a major highway artery, Interstate 5, power lines that serve Medford and Grants Pass, and we have a natural gas pipeline through the heart of this fire. To the north are the communications that serve Douglas County’s southern end, the sheriff and the 911 system … [and] a water intake supply for the City of Canyonville,” explained Douglas Forest Protective Association District Manager Patrick Skrip. “It doesn’t get much more complicated than this.”
