While this fire is enormous it currently ranks fourth in overall size and second in forest fires in Oregon's history. It's burning in a sparsely populated area, no one has died, property loss has been low. It's current spread is into even less populated areas consisting primarily of ranches and secluded forest. Were this fire to be in more densely peopled California the situation would be dire. Locale matters greatly. From what I read this morning. Fires of this nature typically burn until autumn rains put them out.
