according to the measurements that i checked just a few moments ago but dangers particularly matter in the air is far far lower in level than it has been in several. dave so that's the good news other positive news is the weather there is rain in the forecast heavy rain expected to come in from the pacific that will really help the firefighters with their job of battling the many blazes that are still burning in this state the negative side of that of course there's always another on the other hand is that there could be flash flooding especially in the areas that have burned with debris flows coming down canyons and steep hillsides so people who live in those types of areas have been warned to really be on their guard. excuse me so while oregon firefighters are steadily. working at containing the fires down in california it's
