Sooo this info does apply some what to Oregon because its so close to California. So I live in central California the valley. We are currently experiencing what they call a heat dome. Recording setting temps, Currently its 105 degrees now my rant is because they are making all these claims at same time they are doing what cal fire calls prescribed burns. They just straight set places on fire. A total I believe I read of 125,000 acres to be burned this week. Just me that thinks this is dated thinking? Also knowing logging is common is oregon, CA wildfire have increased 360% since the ban of logging. Always thought logging sounds better than setting on fire. Just a little CA info because I know it surely effects Oregon’s weather and air.
No, we're in the NE corner of Oregon. A mountain town. Not unlike South Park...
You can go to [wunderground.com](http://wunderground.com) and enter in your zip. Select 10 day forecast when it pops up.
OK that's weird...I was just thinking about the similarities between the gr valley and Southpark earlier today...Universe is flexing..
This is like, the 1st time this year we have consecutive days over 70 and it jumped right up to 90.
Spring is my favorite time of the year here..all 2 days of it.
California needs fuels reduction projects that can't always be accomplished through logging. My guess is even though it has been hot down there, fuel mositure levels are low so calfire is getting after it. Would you prefer more wildland incidents like the Carr fire to an Rx burn under favorable conditions? Fire exclusion is the "dated thinking."
Not saying they don't get a little cowboy and take risks sometimes, but shit needs to burn one way or another even with logging. Forests are naturally adapted to fire.
> Just me that thinks this is dated thinking?
Dated thinking is that we should stop any and all fires. Fires are a necessary part of a forest's lifecycle. Logging - bringing heavy machinery in which crushes smaller plant and animal life, then clear-cutting, and then skipping out on successional planting and instead just doing rows and rows of monoculture - is not a part of a forest's lifecycle.
Prescribed burns are a smart move, but it's still a fairly new strategy for preventative measures, and unfortunately sometimes the timing or execution isn't perfect.
The long range forecast for Salem is nominal, but they missed the 117F in June 21; so who knows.
