    Smoke from wildfires burning outside Baker County continues to spread into the county, degrading air quality in many places.

    On Monday morning, July 15, the biggest effects were in the southern and western parts of the county, which are closest to the two biggest blazes in the region. The Cow Valley Fire, in northern Malheur County, has burned about 130,000 acres, and the Falls Fire, in northern Harney County, has burned about 55,000 acres.
