Jack Fire burns 2,395 acres, Steamboat Inn prepared for worst - KOBI-TV NBC5 / KOTI-TV NBC2

The Steamboat Inn located near the North Umpqua River is a historic hotel and restaurant. It’s been in business since 1957 and the owner, Melinda Woodward, says it’s listed as a historic landmark. But right now, with the Jack Fire burning so close by, she says business is being affected. “We evacuated all of our guests, even though we’re not in [direct] danger of the fire, we think it’s irresponsible to bring traffic to this area when firefighters are trying to do their job,” said Woodward. Woodward says, normally, she’d be fully booked with guests this time of year – but she, and her inn, are no stranger to wildfires.
