Description

A crow perches atop a bare tree branch, silhouetted against an orange sky thick with wildfire smoke in Portland's Foster-Powell neighborhood on Aug. 4, 2026. Smoke from regional wildfires blanketed the Portland metro area, creating hazy skies and pushing air quality levels into the moderate range.

Several days of wildfire smoke are beginning to send more Oregonians to emergency departments and urgent care clinics, according to state health officials.
