US 199 Fire

[Oregon Viking]

Lightning sucks.
Hwy 199 at the Patrick's creek narrows. 199 is closed between Gasquet and the tunnel.

I hate forest fires. I can imagine the smell now just thinking about it. Hopefully crews are able to get this one under control soon.

Those are some powerful photos. Hoping for the best.

I’ve been waiting for it to dry up and burn here, but we keep getting rain. We’ve had every bit of 40 days of rain this summer. I quit watering my lawn after July 4th.

Hats off to the men and women of the forest service for there bravery of fighting all the fires over there.

Rain helped a lot. I talked to a few fire fighters that said... we have to let the fire come to us. (bosses) We don't actually fight the fire. I can only wonder what the road (199) is like, and will be when it really rains.... Can you say slides?

Are the fires still burning ? How did they start ?
