The Cram Fire in Oregon has burned over 95,000 acres, potentially becoming a 'megafire' as it nears the 100,000-acre mark. This fire, which started on July 13, is currently 73% contained, fueled by strong winds and high temperatures in a sparsely populated area southeast of Portland. While it remains the largest in the U.S. as of 2025, it hasn't equaled the destruction of smaller fires in California, with only four houses lost and many buildings still threatened.
