An intensifying Southern Oregon wildfire is disrupting power transmission to California and the Southwest, precisely when it’s most desperately need to keep people cool in the midst of a heat wave.
The Bootleg Fire blew up to nearly 144,000 acres, racing through the Fremont-Winema National Forest’s heavy timber made more flammable by drought conditions. It forced level 2 and level 3 evacuation orders for residents northeast of Klamath Falls to “get ready” or “go now.” The fire’s rapid growth and unpredictability required fire crews to fall back to predetermined safety zones. High temperatures, dry conditions and gusty afternoon winds were expected to continue to drive the fire. And it is leading to a power transmission crisis that is likely to last for several more days, at least, as the fire burns out of control directly in the path of a major interstate transmission line.
