Oregon’s wildfire season is off to an explosive start,
with more than 1 million acres charred in less than a month,
as experts warn that extreme heat and unusual lightning strikes are creating
“catastrophic conditions” for fires to ignite and spread.
The state is currently home to the largest wildfire burning in the US.
By Friday afternoon, the #Durkee fire had burned nearly 290,000 acres (117,000 hectares)
and was only 20% contained.
The fire had forced evacuations,
shut down a major interstate highway and even produced its own weather system.
The Durkee fire is one of more than 100 lightning-ignited fires, including four “#megafires”,
that have started over the past week and are currently raging in the eastern and central parts of Oregon.
A megafire is defined by National Interagency Fire Center as blazes that have burned more than 100,000 acres (40,000 hectares).
The more than 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) charred so far have already 🔸quadrupled last year’s total
🔸and are approaching the massive 2020 season, which saw 1.2 million acres burned.
The fire season typically runs until autumn rains arrive in mid-September,
but bad years can see blazes burn into October.
