(The Center Square) – More than 30 million people in Western states are under excessive heat warnings and advisories Monday, with multiple cities hitting record-high triple-digit temperatures. As of Sunday, more than 300,000 acres have burned in six western states. In Oregon, the Bootleg Fire burned 143,607 acres and is zero percent contained. It “will see the potential for extreme growth today,” the National Weather Service in Medford, Oregon, tweeted. “We are seeing doubling in size of the fire every 24 hours,” Oregon State Fire Marshal Gert Zoutendijk said. “Basically every ember that falls will start a new fire.” The fire shut down three major power transmission lines used in California, responsible for supplying 10% of the state’s energy. As of Monday, the three power lines were still down, officials said. California officials issued a “flex alert,” urging Californians to conserve energy.
