A wildfire had spread in southeastern Oregon miles a day in windy conditions. This is just one of the several wildfires across the U.S. sources that are burning properties as firefighters struggle to control the spread of the wildfires.
Bootleg Fire had destroyed 67 homes and 117 outbuildings overnight in one county, while authorities were still tallying the losses in a second county where the flames had ravaged up to four miles a day, according to an Associated Press News report.
The wildfire has also forced 2,000 people to evacuate and threatened 5,000 buildings, including homes and smaller structures in a rural area just near the California border, according to fire spokeswoman Holly Krake.
