Is it actually down in the gorge? That wind there is probably turning the place into a blast furnace.
Yes, that's why it traveled 13 miles in one night. Started because of this idiot.

ORTLAND, Ore. -- Oregon State Police have identified a 15-year-old Vancouver teen as a suspect in starting the Eagle Creek Fire.

Police believe the suspect and others may have used fireworks that started the fire Saturday. Police say they contacted the teen suspect in the parking lot of Eagle Creek Trail on Saturday night and interviewed him.

33,000 acres and threatening several landmarks. If it was a sociopathic 15 year old and his friends, I hope the parents are able to pay for losses and expenses.

He's from Vancouver and he managed to cause a fire in Washington too.

All in all it will be 50 years before the forest is back to where it was before the fire. I'll be long dead and my grandchildren at about the age I am today. All because some kids were foolish and stupid. Really a damn shame.

The kids that started this this should be forced to spend the next 50 years planting and caring for the forest, living on site. No TV, no internet, no electricity. . Just the very basic of necessities it takes to survive.
