Good news from KTVZ: “Eight-mile-long burn ‘greatly reduces’ threat”. Red Cross has a shelter at at Sky View Middle School, which is literally a stones throw from my house.

I can hear a low flying plane overhead as I type this.

Here’s a list of local media and blogs that mention the fire:

• UtterlyBoring: The Black Crater Fire Is Getting Worse
• There once was a girl: Smoke
• A Christian in a Strange Land: Still raging, Better News
• varilux: Fire! Fire! _pics
• Mrs Groovy: Positive Thoughts
• chinooktc: smoke sucks _pics
• under the ponderosas: Ashes
• Jason’s ramblings: Fire! _pics
• The Bulletin _pics
• KBND
• Northwest Oregon Interagency Incident Management Team _pics
• SOS Forests: Black Crater Fire Update I, II, III, IV, V, and VI
• Technorati Search: black crater
• Oh, and my other post _pics

I’ve heard at least 3 planes now, maybe more. And a siren…

I’ve been hearing a lot of talk of the Awbrey Hall fire in 1990. I wasn’t around for that. We moved here in ’92 (I think, memory’s a bit hazy).
