Salmon in the Smoke

Before Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife employees at the Leaburg Hatchery, about three miles west of Vida, could evacuate from the Holiday Farm Fire that was spreading down the McKenzie River corridor in September, they had a big choice to make.

To ODFW, it was better than seeing them all die in the hatchery.
