(Reuters) â Fed by bone dry timbers, a massive wildfire dubbed the Bootleg blaze raged across an Oregon forest, advancing five miles (8 km) a day against an army of firefighters as it scorched another 39,000 acres (15,783 hectares) on Saturday.
Driven by 30-mph wind gusts, by midafternoon it had burned more than 280,000 acres since starting on July 6 â consuming a forested area larger than New York City.
More than 2,100 firefighters, a dozen helicopters and airplane tankers had 22% of the blaze under control, said Oregon Department of Forestry spokesman Marcus Kauffman.
While that is up from 7% on Friday, the fire is still growing across a containment line longer than 200 miles.
