## Resource

The Pacific Northwest is reeling from catastrophic wildfires, with over 1.8 million acres burned in Washington and Oregon alone—equivalent to a state the size of Delaware—and more than 2.6 million acres scorched nationwide. Oregon’s governor declared a wildfire emergency, calling for all qualified state personnel to mobilize, while teams from 35 states are already deployed. Oregon tops the national priority list for additional support as fires surge with unprecedented speed and intensity. Washington’s state forester urgently seeks strike team leaders and aviation experts, noting crews are already stretched thin by mid-August. One hundred National Guard troops are being deployed to bolster efforts as the region braces for what could be its worst fire season yet.
