Record-breaking wildfires scorch more than 1.4 million acres in Oregon, authorities say - Times of India

Quick Summary:

Blazes have scorched more than 1.4 million acres, or nearly 2,200 square miles (5,700 square kilometers), Northwest Interagency Coordination Center spokesperson Carol Connolly said.

That's more than any other year since 1992, when reliable records began to be kept, she said, and surpasses the previous record set in 2020.

Airplanes and helicopters were scooping water from nearby Henry Hagg Lake to drop on the fire, said Gert Zoutendijk, spokesperson for the Gaston Rural Fire District.
