Marcelino Maceda looks for items in the remains of his mobile home after a wildfire sweep through the R.V. park destroying multiple homes in Estacada, Oregon September 12, 2020. US officials girded today for the possibility of mass fatalities from raging wildfires up and down the West Coast, as evacuees recounted the pain of leaving everything behind in the face of fast-moving flames. Dense smog from US wildfires that have burnt nearly five million acres and killed 27 people smothered the West Coast on September 12.
