The National Interagency Fire Center is tracking 60 uncontained large wildfires, with extreme fire behavior making them harder to control, like the Durkee Fire in Oregon which burned 100,000 acres.
Record-breaking temperatures during this heat wave have led to historic highs and heat-related risks, with cities like Redding experiencing unprecedented temperature records.
The NWS forecasts major to extreme heat levels in various western regions, intensifying the challenges faced in areas like Las Vegas, California's Central Valley, and Idaho.
The prolonged heat wave is causing the heat risks to persist, particularly in the Western states, where triple-digit temperatures are expected to continue, increasing the danger.
