May go up in smoke.
quote:BROOKINGS, Ore. (AP) - Residents of a southwestern Oregon coastal town remain under a preliminary evacuation notice due to the state's largest wildfire burning nearby.
The 6,500-person town of Brookings is about 5 miles (8 kilometers) from a wildfire that grew to 163 square miles (422 square kilometers) on Saturday.
Officials say hot and dry conditions along with strong winds expected through Saturday and Sunday could cause the fire to grow.
About 1,600 personnel are assigned to fight the lightning-caused wildfire that started July 12 and is burning in the Rogue River-Siskiyou Nat
Officials say dead and down timber along with dried out grasses are making conditions hazardous for firefighters.
The fire was listed as the top firefighting priority in the nation earlier this week.

The Forest Service has been taken over by environuts.
But what is scary is the size of this camp. Hardly anybody was there but there was a Bunch of Cars there. Stopped at the Local BBQ to get my normal Prime Rib Dip. But they are out cause they sold out of food last night. From all the fire folks they Fed.
And they still won't turn the Global SuperTanker 747 loose on the fire.

That thing is a beast![^] I don't understand why the Forest Circus won't allow it's use.
