Just saw an update, guess the fire is still only 40% under control. Hope they get it under wraps before the wind kicks up.

Damn. Gotta give major credit to those fighters!! we got to see some up close action with the pilots grabbing water from the columbia pools and dropping on that fire east of HR a month ago.

Jim-could that be in your near future?

Kind of wierd that two old wood mills would burn two days apart. I realize the first was due to the train. Wonder about the stevenson coply mill. Confused

No! It's the developers who want to build condos at the Hatch LOL. In all seriousness, one of their better arguments was the eyesore of a mill that they will make beautiful with condos.. a batch of launchsite units aughta get some localism going.
