The fire is headed towards the Breaks Interstate Park if the don't control it.
 
A lot air activity going on i think there dropping water on it.
 
All kinds of fire crew out the road looks like they have done back burns on both sides and letting it burn in the middle. Got a pic but it is not very good. It is all the way up the mountain.
