Another hot summer brings another smokey fire season now fully underway on the west coast of the United States. California, Oregon, and Washington are all struggling with wildfires with 19 large fires currently burning today (Tuesday, July 18, 2023).

Oregon has about half the acres burned of Washington and California with 10,043 so far this year. That makes the total for all 3 states at over 56,000 acres burned in 2023 and we haven't hit the worst of it yet. Peak fire season just started with the worst months being from July through September. So where are the worst wildfires burning right now on the west coast?
