moved to the mainland it's believed that the blazes that ripped through maria camp one last boss started deliberately. about $100.00 wildfires a ripping through the u.s. west coast and already caused at least 8 fatalities tens of thousands of people are under evacuation orders across the states of oregon washington and california firefighters are battling flames that have consumed entire towns and communities smoke has blanketed cities from san francisco to seattle a record 3400000 acres of land have been so far. we are now approaching over 900000 acres burned across the state to put that number into perspective in the last 10 years we see an average of 500000 acres burned in an entire year we've seen that nearly double in the past 3
2:19 am
days we have never seen this amount of uncontained fire across our state this isn't it were ordinary series of a very 3 have suffered there the result of your out of crawford will bring her home america 5th them were children left us exposed to these horrendous far when we can now speak to said almost he's a journalist who is in the arctic and. said you know i believe you are standing a 1000000 it's just south of portland and right next to the riverside 5 if i'm not mistaken looking at the fine that's of you really almost nothing sky can you describe to me what you've been saying that. yes this is oregon city now where we moved from the lido about 15 minutes away at a level 2 meeting get ready but you don't have to actually just yet we just left a lot which is a level 3 meaning go now don't even just going out and we were out with all of what we saw was people fleeing firefighters coming in and even fire stations were get
2:20 am
back into things and get ready to stage it and believe no because it was too dangerous to stay in the lawless so said you how have those evacuations been going and it sounds like there's quite a lot of panic. you know here we're outside of a store in oregon 30 maybe 50 minutes from the leno and the 4th shop and buy beer and stuff and just kind of living their regular lives a police officer we just spoke to said you know there's quite a lot of anik and he doesn't understand what the fuss is about because he thinks you know the fires quite a bit of waves but you know only 50 minutes away there is. a real panic in a real kind of emergency state only 15 minutes from here in milan you know i'm which i'm with a couple of journalists where militia members told us to get out of the road and get out here so you know just 20 minutes from here it is a very different feeling and you can tell by the sky that a lot of ash in the air you can smell it of course and the fire and rescue services across the entire west coast have been really stretched how a lot of firefighters they're cutting to they have what they need to battle that
2:21 am
you know i think what you're seeing in every fire station we passed by is people dropping off supplies watergate or a different kind of things for firefighters so you're seeing a lot of kind of the community come together to help the firefighters the firefighters have a real hard time containing this as you know with the weather patterns it is very difficult last night they thought it was 50 percent contained and what we're seeing today is the governor said in that clip you showed 950000 acres have already been burned this is more than you know the entire zero's worth in a normal year so this kind of thing is unprecedented in the state's history setting these fires are now getting mighty close to portland itself is their plan for the 50 to deal with. you know we're still we're still have you know this is that we're about 45 minutes away driving time from portland portland is at a level one to me just kind of. keep informed but it's not a level 2 and there's no expectation that it will reach port when the fire here this is kind of to the outer perimeter here in oregon city about 45 minutes away
2:22 am
but people in portland are talking about the air quality and kind of some people are even talking about moving out you know kind of temporarily just because the air quality is there a bit of hope of respondent with the weather tomorrow on changing weather patterns . the hope is to get through to sunday where the weather should turn in our favor and you know portland it rains here a lot so if we can get through the week the summations looks it looks good. legit i do want to ask you mentioned some of the things that governor brown's been saying she has also said this isn't going to be a one time event that this is the acute impacts of climate change and there's already discussion too of changing fire management policies i believe to get a sense there that people are viewing this as not just about fire season but really the new normal yeah you know it specially you know organs a kind of democrat they say sure it is very kind of blue out here in the real areas you know this is much more red and what you're kind of trump boaters even then though you know what how this were how this big framed it's very much
2:23 am
a climate change story this kind of thing is unprecedented as we saw you talked about earlier in organs history what's already been burned is more than the entire year's worth the normal fire season so this is definitely a climate change story so you're almost there journalist is speaking to us from the oregon fison thanks very much sergio and you stay safe yourself well you will remember this last southern hemisphere stray experienced a devastating bushfire season not unlike what's happening in north america now and during what's come to be known as the black summer wildlife was decimated at least $3000000000.00 animals killed or displaced and today at least 5000 koalas who die and and now a dispute about how to protect qualis threatened to topple the government of australia's biggest state there's been a split in new south wales over a new policy to protect their habitats the national say they will no longer support legislation which they say unfairly limits the way property owners manage their land and inquiry in june found that koalas could become extinct by 2050 in new
