A wildfire burning in a sparsely populated region of central Oregon has become the largest fire this year and is on the verge of surpassing 100,000 acres to become a megafire.

At least 850 personnel are fighting the Burdoin Fire and some national forest lands in the Columbia River Gorge are now closed.

The Cram Fire in Oregon has burned over 95,000 acres. It could become a “megafire,” signaling it has burned 100,000 acres, in the near future. Centered in rural Oregon, the fire has not destroyed as many buildings as some smaller fires in California.
