Hi. I wanted to share another thread of @mailtribune stories, this time on day 2 of the #AlmedaFire, originally called the #GlendowerFire, and the #ObenchainFire. Reminder that all such stories don't have a paywall.
. @Joe_Zavala99 always writes with empathy. It's a stock feature in his pieces. His look inside the destruction in Talent and Phoenix is no different. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/talent-phoenix-wakes-up-to-decimated-neighborhoods-businesses
. @MTCrimeBeat got some new, startling info on the #AlmedaFire's start. It's exceedingly thorough, even though fire and law officials had to cut the presser he attended short to deal with another fire. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/sheriff-confirms-death-investigation-where-almeda-fire-started
Our new @AshlandTidings reporter Allayana Darrow focused on the next steps for Ashland. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/what-now-ashland-emergency-managers-grapple-with-scale-of-crisis
I spoke to @NWSMedford, @swofire, @OSFM @Gary_Leaming and others about the conditions that fueled this fire and how agencies had to scramble to respond on several different fronts. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/40-mph-winds-drove-fires-across-jackson-countys-rain-starved-terrain
. @VickieAldous, who, honest-to-God, is the glue that holds our newsroom together, went to the Jackson County Expo to talk to fire evacuees. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/the-jackson-county-expo-becomes-home-for-thousands-of-wildfire-evacuees
. @Robert_H_RBM from our Rosebud Video team produced a video about the Expo shelter, too. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/the-big-one-almeda
Here's some info on some local funds utilized to help those who have been displaced. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/funds-launched-for-southern-oregon-wildlife-relief
And finally, you can see up-to-date evacuation notices throughout Jackson County here. https://mailtribune.com/news/top-stories/jackson-county-evacuation-map
A1-A3 of our print product today is all devoted to fire coverage. A3 is a photo page that photographers @Lusch11 and Andy Atkinson put together. The images are tough to take in, but they capture the last 48 hours so completely.
None of this would have been possible without @JUmbersonMT steering the ship. He's been good at reminding us all to breathe.
More coming. Thank you for reading. We can't do this without you.
