For sure. We've had almost no rain in North Bend since mid-July. While not unprecedented, it's unusual and will magnify the post-wildfire environment and dynamics throughout the region.

The Bolt Creek fire is currently burning and that is the primary reason that Highway 2 is closed.

Fire burned the trees and no they are falling into the road. They have to clear all trees back from the whole burned out area.

Lived there for 11 years Dreadful cold clammey in the winter winds blow over trees on narrow two lane roads! Yesterday 91 degrees clear and nice Arizona Yuma
