In hard-hit Oregon, search teams yesterday entered areas where fires burned through small communities, the head of the state’s office of emergency management said, adding that authorities were prepared for possible “mass casualty incidents.” A drop in winds, higher moisture levels and forecast rain were expected to help firefighters going into the weekend in towns like Molalla, at the mercy of wind strength and direction after two of Oregon’s largest wildfires merged into one.
A Mexican-American family described evacuating the Bear Creek Mobile Home park five miles south of Medford as flocks of birds flew from advancing flames and sparks began to rain down on their house. Brown said there were dozens of people reported missing after fires in Oregon’s Jackson, Marion and Lane counties.
