Unusual Spread of Wildfires in Oregon

This past week at least three wildfires were spreading at the same time in Oregon. Three engines and three crews were needed to put out the fires, adding up to about 120 people. It was expected for some of the fires to last more than a few days, but surprising how much they spread. One fire grew to 273 acres! Very dry winter weather and harsh winter winds lead to these extreme wildfires. The West Coast is getting severe wind that is more similar to Eastern winds for this time of the year. The Santa Anas winds are changing their ways.
