Smoke is very thick here, has been since Friday.
Locals are pissed that the fire wasn't handled back in July.

I-5 between Grand Mound and Maytown. Kind of a big deal. There is a bit of aerial footage from one of the news channels that shows when the hydraulic system on a burning tub grinder let loose; the conveyers all sagged to the ground as the cylinders relaxed. Oddly, I was just thinking as I drove by that patch of freeway a few days ago how easy it would be for a fire to grow there. This one looks to have started on the west side of the freeway on or near the Scatter Creek refuge, and then grew from there and began to spot. Everything east of the freeway is from spotting.

Gotta be dry out to try to push fire through salmonberry. Guess it's one of those seasons, huh?

The Chetco Bar Fire made a 3.5 mile run in 4 hours, burnt nearly 20k acres along the way.
Gotta love crown runs.
