The “significant and disturbing” mortality event, which researchers have dubbed “Firmageddon,” is the largest die-off that has ever been recorded for fir trees in the two states combined.
More than 1.23 million acres, or more than 1,900 square miles, of fir forests in Oregon and Washington, have been observed to have died off, according to the Forest Service.

However, Oregon was the state that was most severely affected. In Oregon alone, the Forest Service found dead firs across approximately 1.1 million acres of forest, which is equivalent to over 1,700 square miles. The numbers recorded for the state this year are nearly twice as high as those recorded during any of the previous die-offs.
The Fremont, Winema, Ochoco, and Malheur National Forests are among the areas that have been hit the hardest by the fire.
