Oregon Wildfires: Progress Amid Danger | Portland News

Oregon’s wildfire crisis is easing in some areas but remains dangerously active elsewhere. Sixty-five fires burn across the state, charring nearly two million acres. The massive Big Grass Fire near Idaho is now 70% contained, while the Rowe Creek Complex Fire—once a monster at 370,000 acres—is nearly out at 99%, allowing international firefighting crews to return home. But closer to Portland, the Grasshopper Fire still rages at 47% containment, forcing immediate evacuations in Wasco and Hood River counties and keeping others on high alert. Officials are pushing hard to contain what’s left, but with fires still threatening communities, the battle isn’t over—and it’s far from safe.
