Cedar Creek Fire 86,734 acres, 0% containment

"A firefighter walks down the smoke choked road. Wildland firefighters risk their safety working in thick smoke and with dangerous aerial hazards to protect homes, communities, forests, and livelihoods. These men and women pack their gear, in many cases put aside their day jobs, and say goodbye to their families to perform a mission they believe in. Please be safe a drive slowly and carefully whenever fire personnel and equipment are in the area." (Courtesy PIO Bud Sexton/Northwest Team 6 off the 24 road on the Willamette side)
