Reports that the Oregon towns of Detroit, Talent, Phoenix have been burned. These are not big towns but we may still be talking hundreds of buildings. Some deaths known, may find more. Fires moved fast, narrow mountain roads. Fires are nearing larger towns like Estacada, Springfield, Klamath. Looking at the fire maps, I see more towns at risk. Some state parks have burned or are threatened. Fires are moving west toward actual cities like Salem and Eugene, though winds may not be westerly as they approach urbanization.
