no air quality
smoke from fires in Oregon, too numerous to list.

edited to add: “The largest of the fires, the Riverside fire, which started near the Riverside campground along the Clackamas River, had grown to 112,000 acres by Wednesday night. Clackamas County is managing approximately 300 acres of the fire, while the rest is being managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The fire is continuing to spread quickly and is not contained. The U.S. Forest Service is reporting that the fire was human-caused.“

News from the Lincoln City fire: “A shift to southwesterly winds away from Lincoln City has helped firefighters make progress, officials said, though the fire remains uncontained. The winds have pushed the fire spread back toward areas already burned and away from the denser population center of Lincoln City. The state Office of Emergency Management reported the fire was caused by human activity, as opposed to lightning or other natural ignition sources. However, the state Forestry Department considers the cause to still be under investigation, Lertora said.“
