Episode Details

The Pacific Northwest is facing a wildfire crisis unlike any other, with over 1.8 million acres already scorched across Washington and Oregon — bigger than Delaware. State leaders are scrambling, calling in strike teams, aviation experts, and 100 National Guard troops, while Oregon’s governor mobilized all qualified employees for firefighting. Teams from 35 states are already on the ground, but Canada’s own fires leave them unable to help. With record heat and drought turning forests into tinderboxes, and more fires looming on the horizon, officials are racing to manage crew rotations and avoid burnout — all while the fire season shows no sign of slowing down.
