The Lone Rock Fire is 77,02 acres and 10% contained, while the Falls Fire is 110,674 acres and 5% contained. The Cow Valley Fire northwest of Ontario is now 77% contained at 133,408 acres. Firefighters have lifted all evacuation orders in the area due to improved conditions.
NASA’s satellite imagery showcases the damage caused by the wildfires, as well as the efforts of firefighters to contain the blazes. The massive burn scar left by the Cow Valley Fire is visible to show the hard work put in by emergency responders. The incident management team of the Cow Valley Fire expressed confidence in the containment efforts, leading to the decision to lift all evacuation readiness conditions for the affected areas.
The wildfires in Oregon have been a significant cause of concern for residents, prompting emergency response teams to work around the clock to manage the fires. With NASA’s satellite images providing a bird’s eye view of the fire conditions, it is clear that the firefighting efforts have made progress in containing the blazes. While challenges still remain in fully extinguishing the wildfires, the containment levels achieved so far are a testament to the dedication and hard work of the firefighters on the ground.
