Wildfires Ravage The Pacific Northwest
Newsy
Firefighters are working around the clock to contain massive wildfires burning across 13 states, charring 1.3 million acres and forcing evacuations.
The Bootleg wildfire continues to ravage a national forest in southeastern Oregon. The fire's frontline looks like a Hellscape. The blaze is growing by about four miles a day. It is already half the size of the state of Rhode Island. A high-pressure system sitting over the region caused officials to call for red flag warnings once again. The winds are slowing, but they are expected to pick up again over the weekend.More Related News
