Central Oregonians describe hope and grief along Whychus Canyon, where efforts to fight the Flat fire and protect homes intensely focused over the weekend.

Firefighters are battling Oregon's Flat Fire covering 22,000 acres and threatening hundreds of structures despite recent weather improvements and new containment lines.

Ten structures — including four homes — have been destroyed by a wildfire sweeping through central Oregon, where thousands of residents remained under evacuation orders on Monday, while a blaze in Northern California wine country has so far spared some of the state’s most famous vineyards.
