Wildfires

On September 8, 2020, a fire ignited on Almeda Drive, a quiet street in Ashland, Oregon. Dry air and fierce winds sent the fire ripping up the valley towards the towns of Talent and Phoenix. Thousands were evacuated including Bow DeBey, who lives in Talent. That night, with fires still burning and little information about the destruction, Bow decided to sneak back into town and livestream the Almeda Fire to his friends and neighbors.
