[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1643515, member: 9933"] One of the fires was on a ranch only a few miles west, but on the other side of the river. I called a friend whose ranch was adjacent and who works with DFPA (Douglas Fire Protection) He told me they had that one under control at about 400 acres, but the big one just east of there was completely out of control and expanding by 1000's of acres every few hours. All they can do is keep it away from homes. Fortunately there are very few homes in the Umpqua Natl Forest. I know the young man that manages the large ranch were the 1st fire started. I'm hoping he had nothing to do with the start. He is a decent hard working young man. I think it started at night, so I don't think it was due to equipment. The other fires I was told, started from electric lines going down in the fierce wind storms that came through last night. [/QUOTE]
