 Wildland fire crews are battling several large fires in Oregon with hot and breezy conditions predicted for the east side of the state. Governor Tina Kotek declared an extended state of emergency Friday due to the imminent threat of fire through October 1st. The declaration clears the way for more state resources to respond to the escalating threat. In eastern Oregon, the Cow Valley fire started Thursday south of Baker City and quickly grew to become the largest in the state.
