Oregon's Cram Fire nears 100K acres, now largest in the nation

• Last week, Gov. Tina Kotek declared a statewide emergency for the remainder of the year due to the threat of wildfire.

By the numbers: The Cram Fire, which started July 13, had blackened more than 95,000 acres off Highway 97 east of Madras, as of Monday morning.

• At least two homes and 14 other structures have been destroyed.
• The nearly 900 firefighters working the blaze had achieved roughly 73% containment as of Monday afternoon.

The latest: The Burdoin Fire, burning on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge east of Hood River, started Friday and had burned more than 10,000 acres as of Monday.

• More than a dozen homes have been destroyed with hundreds more under threat.
• Level 3 "Go Now" evacuations were in effect for some areas. Visit the Klickitat County Emergency Management's website for the latest updates.

Catch up quick: The Burdoin Fire was burning near where the Rowena Fire destroyed more than 50 homes in a small community between Hood River and The Dalles last month.

What next: The system that brought rain to Portland on Sunday will provide some limited relief to firefighters in the short term, but temperatures are expected to tick up with stronger winds in the coming days, officials said.
