In Oregon, entire towns have been decimated by the fires. Across the West, there are nearly 100 major wildfires burning, with approximately 5 million acres lost, about the land mass of New Jersey.

Here & Now's Tonya Mosley checks in with Oregon Public Broadcasting's Monica Samayoa.

Correction: During the segment, it was said only Utah has responded to Gov. Kate Brown's request for help. Other states have responded with help, including firefighters from Mexico. We regret the error.
