Map of the trifecta of fires (Beachie Creek, Lionshead, and Riverside) threatening Salem and Portland.

The Riverside fire started Tuesday morning and is already over 130,00 acres. The Beachie Creek and Lionshead fires started in remote areas during a lightning storm in mid-August and remained small fires (sub 1,000 acres) until the recent extreme red flag conditions drove huge fire growth. The brighter shading is what has burned in the 24 hours between map updates. There is no "contained line" in the map legend because there was no contained line on the Beachie Creek or Riverside fires as of noon west coast time.
