Soldiers Battle S. Oregon 40,000-Acre Inferno

Soldiers have arrived in southern Oregon to help battle lightening-sparked infernos, the nation’s highest priority fires that killed one fireworker and prompted state of emergencies, mandatory evacuations and suffocating smoke, not the type the state’s greenies prefer. A state of emergency and mandatory evacuations have been declared in southern Oregon where for six days, fires remained at zero containment until yesterday’s cooler and moister conditions. Gov. John Kitzhaber declared a state of emergency Tuesday for Josephine and Douglas counties.
