Alex Brown(Stateline) With dozens of large fires burning across the Pacific Northwest, and nearly 2 million acres burned already, state leaders are calling for firefighting reinforcements and bracing for a grueling August. Tina Kotek issued an executive order in June making all wildfire qualified staffers at various state agencies available to fight fires. State forester Kacey KC said teams from 35 different states are currently fighting fires in the Northwest, and Oregon is No. Geissler said he had just finalized a plan to deploy 100 National Guard troops to help fight fires in Washington. And crews from Utah have deployed to help fight fires in Oregon.
