The pungent smoke and Ashes from this fire caused devastation across the reason, killing at least 17 people and leaving dozens missing. If combined, the fire has so far affected 50 lakh acres of land.
Andrew Phelps, director of emergency management in Oregon, said, ” based on what we know and the large number of structures that have been destroyed, we are preparing to deal with the major event.”
Fires in California, Oregon, and Washington have also caused havoc in many delightful mountain towns and turned many surrounding areas into ashes. Not only this, but the smoke has also spewed so much smoke that even air pilots are failing to stop the forest fire. The mayor of Portland has declared a state of emergency in the hope of ever spreading a major fire in the City. Due to the high wind speed, the fire has captured an area equal to states like New Jersey. There is a thunderstorm here at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Because of this, the situation has become worse. Oregon governor Kate Brown cautioned that the next days are going to be very tough.
