My recent posts on the 2020 wildfire season have focused on the wildfires in California. But as most of you know from media reports, wildfires have devastated Oregon and Washington as well. Here is a fifteen minute video from the Northwest Sawyer documenting his escape from what I believe is the Riverside Fire that to date has burned 138,004 acres in the Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon. I believe that this fire was first reported on September 8th. Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today provides a good overview of the Oregon wildfires on September 13th, he reported that 53 structures were burned by the Riverside Fire.
