More than one million acres have burned across central and eastern Oregon as the state faces another potentially record-breaking wildfire season.

Dozens of major fires, many sparked by dry lightning and strong winds, are spreading across public lands and creating hazardous smoke conditions.

Thousands of residents have been evacuated, while ranchers are working to move cattle away from threatened areas.

Officials warn that the fire danger remains high due to record-low snowpack and worsening conditions expected later in the summer, NPR has reported.

Authorities are urging residents to stay alert as firefighters battle the growing number of wildfires across the region.
