The Almeda fire was, indeed. Even today, driving Hwy 99 from Phoenix to Ashland, you can see how the creek funnelled the flames. My sister's church at the corner of Second and Church was spared; the Jackson County Fuel Committee's building just to the north across Second burned to the ground.

I never remember the name of the fire (despite its memorable devastation) but our neighbor’s son lost his home in Talent. His girlfriend only had time to grab the dog and flee in the car after the authorities came and pounded on the front door😢.

It was devastating to that area.
