As fires rage in the Pacific Northwest, leaders call all hands on deck
Wildfires in the Pacific Northwest have burned over 1.8 million acres, prompting leaders in Washington and Oregon to request reinforcements. The Ptarmigan Fire has crossed into Canada, and states are relying on crews from multiple U.S. states, Australia, and New Zealand due to Canada's inability to assist amid its own wildfires.
