Southern Oregon wildfire destroys dozens of homes, disrupts 911 service

A wildfire in southern Oregon has burned over 2,000 acres and destroyed at least 43 homes.
The fire caused damage to fiber optic cables, resulting in the loss of 911 service, internet, and phone service.
Fire crews are working with utility companies to repair damaged infrastructure and restore services.
The fire started on Saturday and spread rapidly due to hot, dry, and windy conditions.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, with initial reports suggesting it may have started on private property used for illegal marijuana cultivation.
