Bootleg wildfire in Oregon is growing by 1,000 acres every HOUR and is creating dangerous ‘fire clouds’ which generate their own lightning and can dump embers on firefighters battling the nation’s biggest blaze

Daily Mail

The massive Bootleg wildfire in southeastern Oregon is spreading at a rate of 1,000 acres every hour with smoke and heat from the massive blaze is  so intense that giant ‘fire clouds’ are being created overhead.

The Bootleg Fire is now the largest wildfire burning in the U.S. at 241,496 acres, or 377 square miles — larger than the area of New York City — with active flames surging along a front 200 miles long. The inferno is just 7% contained.

The fire is moving at an astonishing rate, equivalent to an entire football field every 5 seconds covering an area larger than Manhattan’s Central Park every 60 minutes.

And smoke and heat from the inferno is creating pyrocumulus clouds – also known as fire clouds – over the blaze.

The dangerous columns of smoke and ash that can reach up to 6 miles in the sky and are visible from more than 100 miles away.

Fire crews have been forced to flee some areas as the clouds hit them with strong downdrafts and flying embers. The fire clouds can also create their own weather systems and thunderclouds, causing lightning that can spark further fires.

The blaze has stymied firefighters for nearly a week with erratic winds and extremely dangerous fire behavior.

  1. Back in the late 90s we had a huge fire here in the mountains that almost reached the top of our property….you could see small fire indicators behind the house up on the mountain at night. The local fire dept. hired a company owned by Native Americans that fly fire supressor and water spraying planes and they did huge help in putting out the fires especially in areas inaccessable to fire fighters here (no roads, steep mountain sides, etc.)

    Why haven’t these fire fighter planes and crew been employed at the Bootleg Fire which is many many times larger than any fire we’ve ever had? You’d think a leftist state like Oregon would hire “indigenous” (the “I” in BIPOC) people to help out? Or do they just want the more “conservative” part of Oregon to burn up? And burning all those trees (and yes, wildlife as well…I’ve been to that part of Oregon) so as to raise lumber prices through the roof?

    1. It’s the UN Agenda 2030/50 of moving the population out of rural areas to stack and pack ’em, strictly in cities.
      They’re all doing it now. Being sustainable in all things is the “thing” to do, but in order for it, the population must be reduced and nobody can own anything, especially real estate.

    2. No, they are not burning up the trees to raise the price of lumber, they are burning them up because the price of lumber is already high. All of usable old growth timber was protected under federal injunction, but just like with last year’s fires, all old growth ponderosa can now be cut, to salvage it of course.
      You see the fire kills the tree, but it doesn’t diminish it’s value any. Those trees are still wet and green inside and somebody is getting ready to make a goddamn fortune. That would be, uh, I can’t remember the name of the company, but they bought land all around Gearhart Mountain from Weyerhaeuser who was no doubt given the land which was taken from we the people without due process of the law.
      Once it is cut down and taken to the mill, you don’t lose a dollar just because the bark is burnt. They debark the logs anyway before they run them through the mill.
      Ka-ching, ka-ching.

      By the way, they are using boride and water bombers.

  2. Well, they burned up quite a bit in Cali with their toys (D.E.W.) Directed Energy Weapons. They had fun with these weapons in the town of Paradise.
