It’s been a wild week here in Southern Oregon. Monday a major fire erupted in Ashland, Oregon, and by that afternoon there was a major fire going in Medford, just north of Ashland!
Amazingly, though the fires were big, only one home burned, and it was unoccupied. On top of that, nobody was hurt! A big thanks go out to the firefighters, who did such a great job!
Now that the fires are under control, we can breath a sigh of relief…but we can’t breathe, as the smoke is pretty bad still. I’ll take smoke over fire any day though.
