1:04Now PlayingFirefighters in Oregon reported good progress in the battle against the nation’s largest wildfire.
Containment of the Bootleg Fire in remote southern Oregon is up to 84% late Sunday. It was 56% contained a day earlier. The blaze has scorched 646 square miles.
Also in southern Oregon, lightning struck parched forests hundreds of times in 24 hours over the weekend, igniting some 50 new wildfires as the Bootleg Fire burned less than 100 miles (161 kilometers) away, officials said Monday.
Firefighters and aircraft pounced on the new fires before they could spread out of control. No homes were immediately threatened.
