## Resource

Oregon’s wildfire crisis is escalating fast—28 fires burning, 130,000 acres already lost, with 9 igniting in just 24 hours. Lightning storms sparked the blazes, and crews from Oregon, Washington, and California are racing to contain them amid stretched resources and evacuation orders. The Brewer Fire exploded from 3,000 to 14,000 acres in days, hampered by rugged terrain. The Rowe Creek Complex remains uncontained, forcing closures in the John Day Fossil Beds. In Gilliam County, the Hoag Fire destroyed homes, and a new Sully Fire triggered immediate evacuations—power lines down, danger rising. Stay out of fire zones and brace for more.
