When a controlled burn within the McKenzie River corridor broke perimeter on Tuesday evening, becoming a wildfire, it brought back some unwelcomed memories for area residents. “Bad memories you know just seeing fire," says Blue River resident Jayson Kelso, "and everybody said it was going to be fine during the Holiday Farm Fire and the next thing you know it's something bigger than anybody expected it to be. I know that the firefighters have everything under control but then again just as shift of wind can push it back down river.”
