8A | WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 2021 | SIUSLAW NEWS FIRE from page 1A requesting the agency detail the steps it has taken to make it easier and faster to deliv- er disaster assistance in the wake of a catastrophic wild- fire. In a letter to FEMA Ad- ministrator Deanne Criswell, the legislators stated, “As you know, Oregon, and the rest of the West, experi- enced an unprecedented and destructive wildfire season in 2020. Over 50,000 fires burned 10 million acres, with fires lasting well into the fall. As we approach another po- tentially catastrophic wildfire season, many Oregonians continue to struggle to re- turn to the pre-disaster state of normal. The approval of the long-awaited cost-share adjustment for the 2020 wildfire season is critical to our recovery efforts and we thank you for that.” The delays in receiving approval for insurance pay- ments and other forms of federal assistance has been disappointing to many resi- dents who have had to delay rebuilding due to complex and often unclear require- ments form state and federal agencies. The joint letter came as the Bootleg fire in Southern Ore- gon has destroyed at least 21 houses and is putting nearly 2,000 more at risk. The blaze, the origins of which remain under investigation, has killed cattle and has caused urgent evacuations. It contin- ues to be the largest uncon- trolled blaze in the country. Two other large fires, the Jack Fire in Southern Ore- gon and the Grandview Fire in Central Oregon, have also forced evacuations. The disruption caused by 2020’s devastating fires de- stroyed 3,000 structures and continues as hundreds of people remain displaced or unemployed as a result of the fires. Locally, members of Siu- slaw Valley Fire and Rescue have sent support to fire- fighters working to suppress and contain the Bootleg fire, according to Fire/EMS Chief Michael Schick. “We sent two firefighters there, Captain Tony Miller and Lt. Blair Campbell, and they have been checking in with us daily. Right now, this is a weather-controlled fire and will likely be burning until nature helps out with some moisture,” Schick re- ported. “The other fire we are watching closely is the Jack Fire in Douglas County. We have not been asked to send any additional resources to either fire. At this time, we prefer to keep the rest of our resources close to home.” The response to the Hol- iday Farm Fire near Blue River, which destroyed 788 structures but also burned more than 175,000 acres of land, has drawn criticism of FEMA’s level of preparedness and engagement. As a result, state and fed- eral representatives want to avoid a repeat in the delays experienced in providing meaningful assistance to those impacted. There are currently three major wildfires in Oregon and the expectation that this is only the beginning of a very difficult season for fire- fighters and their communi- ties, was a major reason for the concerns expressed to Criswell. The delegation’s letter went on to pose questions to FEMA, including about resources, natural disasters during the COVID-19 pan- demic and more. Recent analysis found that in 2020, 2,215 different fires burned a total of 1,141,613 acres of Oregon land. Out of all states, Oregon is second most impacted by more than 2020 wildfires. Locally, the Siuslaw Region is considered at “high” fire danger. Look for the chart and read more about fire re- strictions at www.svfr.org.
