18 July 2021, 3:12 AM  |  Reuters  |  @SABCNews Image: Reuters Flames destroyed at least 21 homes along with 54 other structures, and 5 000 homes are threatened. Fed by bone dry timbers, a massive wildfire dubbed the Bootleg blaze raged across an Oregon forest, advancing 8 km a day against an army of firefighters as it scorched another 39 000 acres (15 783 hectares) on Saturday. Driven by 30-mph wind gusts, by mid afternoon it had burned more than 280 000 acres since starting on July 6 – consuming a forested area larger than New York City. More than 2 100 firefighters, a dozen helicopters and airplane tankers had 22% of the blaze under control, said Oregon Department of Forestry spokesperson Marcus Kauffman.
