The largest wildfire burning in the United States right now, the Bootleg Fire in southeastern Oregon, is spreading several miles a day and isn’t expected to be fully contained unless a significant weather event lends a helping hand.
The Bootleg Fire is now 377 square miles larger than the area of New York City and mostly uncontained. An initial review Friday showed the fire destroyed 67 homes and 117 outbuildings overnight in one county.
