The largest wildfire in the U.S. continues to grow and threaten homes in southern Central Oregon. With high temperatures and winds forecast Wednesday, the National Weather Service has issued red-flag warnings for much of Eastern and Central Oregon. The teams that coordinate wildfire response in the Pacific Northwest are now at their highest alert level as agencies seek to share resources and balance competing priorities. New fires continue to pop up. And then there’s the wildfire smoke. And a new brushfire south of Portland closed a highway and prompted fresh evacuations early Wednesday evening.
