ESTACADA, Ore.—Oregon’s governor is seeking additional federal assistance as her state battles the deadly wildfires sweeping the western United States, and local residents pitched in on Tuesday to help the many people displaced by the blazes.
Dozens of wildfires have burned across some 4.5 million acres (1.8 million hectares) in California, Oregon, and Washington state since August, ravaging several small towns, destroying thousands of homes, and killing at least three dozen people.
