How the Bootleg Fire is generating its own weather AccuWeather 2 hrs ago Adriana Navarro Having already devoured a span of acres that could swallow Los Angeles, the Bootleg Fire is now generating its own weather. Since the flames took hold on July 6 in southern Oregon, the blaze has scorched over 388,000 acres and is only 30% contained, according to InciWeb.

In addition, the fire has destroyed at least 70 homes and more than 100 outbuildings. On Monday, July 19, the blaze merged with the smaller Log Fire
