PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon is on pace for one of its most historic wildfire seasons on record, and the calendar hasn't even turned to August. More than 1.3 million acres have already burned across Oregon as of late July, surpassing the state's total acreage burned just last year in 2025. This year is within reach of Oregon's recent wildfire record of 1.93 acres burned back in 2024. This is a major concern as fire officials say that August and September, typically the state's most active months for wildfire growth, still lie ahead.
