Western Wildfires Burn Homes
A pair of wildfires out west have burned some homes.
Deer Creek Fire in Oregon (from KVAL-TV):
Near Selma - Governor Ted Kulongoski has invoked the emergency conflagration act for a wildfire burning in Southern Oregon. The Deer Creek Fire has already charred at least four homes and hundreds of acres since it broke out Thursday.
Manton Fire in California (from redding.com):
MANTON — A wildfire that forced the evacuation of this entire town and burned at least 20 buildings continues to blaze toward the northeast early this evening.The blaze had burned over 1,000 acres by 11:30 p.m. Friday and continued to burn to the north and east. Some 800 firefighters were battling the blaze.
I probably wouldn't have posted on these fires individually, but its unusual that on the same day, two separate fires would each take out multiple structures.
