俄勒冈州的Cram Fire山火自7月13日爆发以来,已烧毁超过95,000英亩土地,并有成为“巨型山火”(燃烧面积达10万英亩以上)的趋势。该山火位于波特兰东南部一个人口稀疏的农村地区,目前已得到73%的控制。尽管火势凶猛,但由于其地理位置,其建筑物的破坏程度低于加州一些规模较小的火灾,目前仅有四栋房屋被毁,但仍有数百栋建筑受到威胁。超过930名消防员正在扑救,预计未来几天可能出现的降温、高湿度和降雨将有助于控制火势。

🔥 Cram Fire山火已烧毁近10万英亩土地,成为2025年美国最大的山火,并可能达到“巨型山火”的标准,该术语用于强调火灾的规模和严重性。

💨 火势在强风和高温的助长下蔓延,目前已有73%得到控制。超过930名消防员参与扑救,并期待未来天气转凉、湿度增加及降雨能有效缓解火情。

🌍 尽管Cram Fire是目前美国最大的山火,但其他地区也面临山火威胁,例如大峡谷北缘的两场山火已烧毁超过7万英亩土地并摧毁了一座历史悠久的旅馆,科罗拉多州和犹他州的Deer Creek火灾也烧毁了超过1.6万英亩土地。

    The Cram Fire in Oregon has burned over 95,000 acres. It could become a “megafire,” signaling it has burned 100,000 acres, in the near future. Centered in rural Oregon, the fire has not destroyed as many buildings as some smaller fires in California.

The Cram Fire in Oregon broke out on July 13 and has been burning ever since. To date, it has impacted 150 square miles of land, nearly 100,000 acres and has flirted with “megafire” status. Fueled by strong winds and high temperatures, it’s burning southeast of Portland, in a sparsely populated area.

Firefighters have made some progress with the fire. It is currently 73% contained, according to Oregon officials.

The fire is the biggest, to date, in the U.S. in 2025. (Fire season, however, typically peaks in the late summer months.) As of 11:00 p.m. Sunday evening, the fire had burned 95,748 acres. Should it reach 100,000 acres, that would meet the U.S. Interagency Fire Center’s definition of a megafire, a term meant to underscore the size and severity of massive fires (much like the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale defines hurricanes).

The Cram Fire’s location has made it a possible megafire that doesn’t have the same level of tragedy as smaller fires have in California. To date, only four houses have been destroyed, though hundreds of other buildings are still threatened. The cause of the fire is still unknown.

Evacuation orders and warnings remain in place across at least three counties – Jefferson, Wasco and Crook County, per Central Oregon Fire. Officials said in an update Sunday they were fire anticipating cooler weather, higher humidity and possibly rain to help “moderate fire behavior.”

More than 930 firefighters are working to extinguish the blaze.

The Cram Fire is, by far, the largest in the country right now, but it’s far from the only wildfire that is threatening land across the U.S.

Two wildfires on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon has burned over 70,000 acres and destroyed a historic lodge. And in Colorado and Utah, the Deer Creek fire has burned over 16,000 acres.
