SYCAN ESTATES, Ore. -- The Bootleg Fire has devastated almost everything in its path.
"It's all gone," said Rick Meyer, a resident of the Sycan Estates who lost his home to the Bootleg Fire.
In the last two weeks, the flames have killed thousands of trees, hundreds of animals, and destroyed dozens upon dozens of homes across more than 400,000 acres.
The Klamath County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Friday, July 23, that the fire has destroyed 112 homes and 169 outbuildings.
"Nothing that I can think of here that was in the cabin or the storage shed was salvageable," Meyer said.
Both Meyer and his wife were both away from their home in the Sycan Estates, when the Bootleg Fire took off more than two weeks ago. At first, Meyer thought that he should return home to protect his property of more than 10 years, but then had a change of heart.
