Fires are burning in Oregon at the fastest rate in a decade by human hands, state officials report.

In 2021, the Oregon Department of Forestry reports it responded to 260 fires—about 99% of which were human-caused. That’s nearly three times the state’s 10-year average. In all, those fires burned 1,923 acres, more than four times the average acreage lost to wildfires by this point in a typical year.
