Bootleg fire approaching 400k acres, firefighters forced to retreat for eleventh straight day


KLAMATH COUNTY, Ore The Bootleg fire that has been burning for exactly two weeks as of Tuesday, continues to provide dangerous conditions for firefighters on the frontlines in Klamath and Lake counties.
On Tuesday, firefighters retreated to fire safety zones for the eleventh straight day because of the threat. The fire is burning about  388,359 acres and is 30% contained.
A red flag warning was placed near the fire from 2p.m. – 8p.m. Tuesday, due to the dry and windy conditions in the area. 
“The wind is pushing embers, creating spot fires and slop-overs,” Marcus Kauffman, PIO for Oregon Department of Forestry, told NBC5. “Those are just the kinds of conditions, where it’s just not safe to have our people in there.”  ....

Strong winds overnight Wednesday into Thursday cleared smoke in the Klamath Falls area, which had been heavily affected by the largest wildfire now burning in the United States the Bootleg Fire. Smoke forecasts call for similar weather patterns overnight Thursday into Friday, with smoke likely to be heavier in the Sprague River Valley and the Harney Basin and low-lying areas. ....
