Earlier this morning, firefighters responded to lightning reported across the southern end of the Willamette National Forest. The hot, dry and windy conditions caused one of the fires, the Emigrant Fire, to grow quickly from a few acres to an estimated 300 acres.

The Emigrant Fire is located on the Middle Fork Ranger District approximately 3 miles southwest of Indigo Springs Campground. The wind-driven fire is actively growing on steep slopes in dead and downed timber within the 2009 Tumblebug Fire scar.

Aviation is engaged as fire managers focus on a full suppression response. Additional resources are en route.

Visitors are asked to avoid the area for public and firefighter safety. Smoke is visible in the vicinity of the fire and may settle into nearby drainages overnight.

Additional initial attack activities are anticipated throughout the evening as another thunderstorm is forecast to move over the southern portion of the Forest. To report a new wildfire, call 911.

WILDFIRE UPDATE 08.30.25 10:00 AM

Suppression efforts continue on 46 lightning caused fires across the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. 29 of these new fire starts are now in contained, controlled or out status. Crews are still working to locate additional reports of smoke after widespread lightning moved through the area earlier this week.

Engines, hand crews, heavy equipment, water tenders, rappellers, Galice Wildand Fire Module and smokejumpers are working on these fires and are prepared to respond to new fires as they are reported. The forest is working closely with partners at ODF Southwest Oregon District and the BLM to perform air and ground reconnaissance and facilitate rapid and effective suppression response.

The Galice Wildland Fire Module has been actively engaged in suppression efforts on these fires. A Wildland Fire Module is a highly skilled and specialized 10-person firefighting crew. They receive extra training in fire management technology and ecology that allows them to be a self-contained unit in remote areas to manage and control both planned (prescribed fire) and unplanned wildfires.

The Galice Wildland Fire Module, based out of Merlin on the Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest, travels equipped with an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS/drone), and can split apart into smaller squads to respond to multiple small fires, as they have this past week on the High Cascades Ranger District. The module is composed of highly qualified personnel with a diverse background of leadership experience, enabling them to adapt to a wide range of incident needs. They are capable of being self-sufficient for up to two weeks in wilderness fire environments, or showing up to a large incident prepared to provide leadership and assume responsibility for an entire Division.
In addition to suppression and module operations, the Galice WFM has provided four Incident Commander Type 4s (ICT4) to deliver leadership on four of the new and more complex fires on the High Cascades RD.

Sometimes we carry childhood wounds about our parents.
They yelled. They didn’t always give enough attention. They swatted us on the back of the head. Didn’t buy the toy we wanted. Fought in front of us. Maybe they didn’t say “I love you” as often as we needed — and yes, a therapist can tell you: you weren’t loved enough.
But how could a therapist know the details? The little things we might not even remember?
I think back to when I came home on break from college with my 8-month-old daughter. She was a restless sleeper, waking and crying at night. I’d already gotten used to it. Rock her, soothe her, repeat.
That very first night, my dad quietly showed me a “life hack,” as people say now. He brought in a rug and a pillow, laid them next to the baby’s crib, and said:
“We’ll take turns sleeping right here on the floor. It’s easier. You don’t have to jump out of bed all night. Or maybe I’ll just do it myself. It’s good for my back anyway.”
Then he casually added: “I actually slept this way for a year when you were little. Your mom was in med school full-time, I was working at the psychiatric hospital and pulling shifts on the ambulance. And every night I slept on the floor by your crib. Easier to get up fast when you cried. Safer that way.”
I never knew. He never said. Nobody told me. He didn’t swear his love, didn’t make speeches, didn’t declare: I never slept! I sacrificed everything for you!
He just… slept on the floor. And was ready to do it again for his granddaughter. Because in his mind, how else could it be? That was love.
Not every parent said out loud, “I love you.” Back then, it wasn’t the norm. Instead, they showed it in details: saving the best piece of food for us, spending their last dollars on a pair of nice shoes, running out in the middle of the night for medicine, sitting up through sickness, sleeping on a rug by the crib.
So yes, if a therapist can help us heal, that’s good. But if not, maybe we need to remember the little things before we conclude we “weren’t loved.”
Because love often is the details — the kind we don’t always notice, or even remember.
