Inside the scorched towns of Talent and Phoenix, Ore.
PHOENIX, Ore. — The Almeda Fire sparked up around the evening of Sept. 8 near Ashland, Ore. Driven by a warm, dry wind, it sped north to the commercial hub of Medford. Along the way, flames drove through the two small agricultural cities of Talent and Phoenix, where apple orchards, tomatoes and vineyards surround the quaint, historic main streets.

I worked in Medford OR 2 1/2 years ago which is just north of here. It's sad to see the devestation of these two towns. Hope you can get past the paywall.
