Gov. Kate Brown Thursday toured areas burned by last year’s Almeda Fire in Jackson County.
Brown met with public officials and journalists at the Mountain View Estates Mobile Home Park in Talent, where most of its homes were destroyed in the fire. She spoke to the challenges that many Oregonians are facing in getting help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
