Lightning Ignites Dozens of New Fires | Portland Maine News
Description
Central Oregon’s skies turned explosive Wednesday, with nearly 2,000 lightning strikes igniting over 35 new wildfires as thunderstorms raged. Fire crews are scrambling to contain the blaze surge, battling both fresh starts and massive existing fires like the 149,000-acre Rowe Creek Complex at 24% containment, the 15,000-acre Box Springs Fire with zero containment, and the 30,000-acre Brewer Fire at just 5%. Smoldering spots are still flaring up, and with more storms on the horizon, firefighters are on high alert—patrolling, monitoring, and racing to stop every new threat before it grows.
