PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Wildfire season continues to decimate parts of Eastern Oregon as the state adds one more fire to its list of “megafires” that sparked in July.
A megafire, according to the U.S. Interagency Fire Center, is a wildfire that reaches a size of at least 100,000 acres. Of the 121 fires currently burning in Oregon, the Durkee, Cow Valley, Falls, Lone Rock, and Monkey Creek fires have reached this status.
