Wildfire in Our Future #879325

Asked July 29, 2024, 7:01 PM EDT

It seems to me that wildfires in Oregon since 2017 or thereabouts, have burned off an extraordinary amount of wildland. If the current rate of wildfire continues, how long will it be before Oregon becomes completely charred? Taking into account that most, if not all major cities will be spared, how long will it be before all Oregon wildland is destroyed? I hope that the answer turns out to be hypothetical and not reality. Thank you for your time. Vern Freeman
