The 2020 Oregon wildfire season was one of the most destructive in state history. The fires killed at least 11 people, destroyed thousands of homes and burned more than 1 million acres. The smoke from the blazes blanketed western Oregon, leading to air quality that was hazardous for human health for two weeks.
