NASA satellite images showing a wider view of Oregon reveal the large number of fires currently burning across the state and the vast amounts of smoke they are producing. According to the OEM, there are currently 37 active fires raging across the state, which have burned more than 670,000 acres. The largest of these are the Beachie Creek, Riverside and Lionshead fires located in the north of the state, which have all burned more than 100,000 acres each.

For the first time, Brown invoked a fire conflagration act for the entire state. The governor has also directed the OEM to request a federal emergency declaration, which would free up resources for response efforts. "Winds continue to feed the fires. Places not burning now still face the worst fire condition risks in 30 years: dry air, dry brush, and hot winds. Everyone must be on high alert. Pay attention to directions from firefighters, local officials and emergency responders. If you are asked to evacuate, do so immediately. Your choices could save lives."
