And many people who were evacuated didn't know how to evacuate. The news was saying the freeway was closed, 99 was bumper to bumper. No suggestions for how to get out of the area were given.  it's been a real shit show.

I understand why it's necessary to shut down roads when there is active fire and/or water hoses having to cross roadways, but it sure seems to me like they arbitrarily and prematurely shut down major egress points which cause more trouble than they solve especially in evacuation scenarios.

Do you mean Hwy 99 and the Freeway? Well, those two roads both had fire on them. That was causing a lot of confusion in the community. A lot of what you can't do and not a lot of what you could do.  People felt and were confused.

There's something else I'm not sure about. Maybe someone knows.   Did firefighters stop the fire from continuing into Medford?  Or did it just peter out, because I never really heard.

I get why they shut down the freeway and highway, but then they sure as hell needed to be way more methodical and specific on what surface streets to keep open so that folks could reasonably evacuate. What I heard on the scanner were roads closing and opening left and right, that just creates a bad situation.

I agree. There was a definite feeling of fear and people saying they didn't know how or where to go.
