It is getting worse. An hour ago all USFS units were told to stand down on beachie/riverside. Beachie -185,000 acres 0% contained. Riverside - 121,000 acres 0% contained. Too dangerous to be on the line right now. Molalla is full evac and Canby (my childhood home) is not far behind.
So ugly, at a loss for words and nothing else I can really say but good luck and praying for you all. Have not heard from @Rubi04 today...you all ok?
If anyone needs a spot to park a trailer on the south coast reach out to me. Not to bad around here at the moment, still getting a lot of smoke but the air quality is decent.
This is lunacy....I am sorry being on the east coast I can't help...unless someone knows a way?
Is it bad my first thought was "god, just burn him"
OP
Update, doing ok. Smoke levels are still extremely unhealthy and we have been stuck.
Fires are still spreading, family friend lost their lives. A 12 year old girl and her grandmother. Her mother is in the ICU.
They have been arresting people setting fires. It’s appearing there is going to be more to this story.
fires about 20 miles still from my place. Been helping as I can with those losing everything.
It’s pretty upsetting and sad. It will be even worse if this was done with intent. I don’t even have words if that proves to be the case.

I have a feeling this is going to tie-in with the “protestors”. Just you wait and see...
Angry over the idea that these fires could have been intentionally set, but deeply saddened by the loss of your friends. Praying for the mother, and for those who know and love the family. It doesn't get much worse than what has happened to them...
Just talked to my friend in Oregon City. He said there are people there throwing fire bombs at houses and buildings to try and get the fire to spread.
That has to be a rumor. I can't believe someone would do that.
Then I look at all the looting and damage happening nationwide and realize people suck bad anymore.
Someone does that in our neighborhood and they wouldn't find a trace.
Normally I would think so, but he said he witnessed it first hand.
Let’s see if the media reports anything at all.
People really suck. Maybe the Purge is a valid concept..

I’m saddened for what you, your family and your friends are going through.
Hang in there and if there’s anything we on this site can do to help let us know.
We might have to organize a Jeep manhunt where we hunt these idiots down and take the law into our own hands 
Buddy of mine on another crew saw a guy heading into Willamette NF with diesel. Cops stopped him and I’m not sure of the story but it’s beyond fucked up.
