Thomas Kyle-Milward, DNR'S Wildfire Communications Manager, said the Hill Loop Fire in Stevens County “popped onto the landscape last night” at 127 acres. He said the state now has 15 large uncontained fires on the landscape, with more than 800,000 acres burned so far this year.
He also referenced the tragedy in Spokane, the structure loss there, and said Oregon is also going through a really tough fire season, which has led to stretched resources across the region and a very challenging season on the ground for firefighters and those folks behind the scenes who support them.
