PHOENIX, Ore. Monday, March 8 marks six months since the Almeda, South Obenchain, and Slater fires swept through Jackson, Josephine, and Siskiyou counties scorching thousands of acres and leaving thousands of people without their homes or businesses.
In the areas of Talent and Phoenix that were leveled by the Almeda Fire, seven mobile home parks are beginning to have ash and debris removal done. The process for cleaning up home sites is at last beginning to pick up, with more than 600 homes cleared and more than 200 almost ready for reconstruction.
