Oregon Wildfires

Two unusual weather phenomena combined to create some of the most destructive wildfires the West Coast states have seen in modern times.

The Dodson family’s home outside of Estacada, Oregon was completely destroyed by the Riverside fire.

Dangerously dirty air spewing from massive wildfires on the West Coast is seeping into homes and businesses and keeping people already shut away by the coronavirus pandemic from enjoying even a walk outside

Residents living near western wildfires are being urged to evacuate early before escape routes are blocked.

Officials are warning evacuees in the fire-ravaged western states that they will have a harder time making it to safety the longer they wait. So far, 35 people have died from the fires in California, Oregon and Washington state.

Massive fires burning across Oregon have destroyed at least six towns and claimed several lives, while even more burn in California.

Several wildfires continue to burn out of control across Oregon, forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes.
