Five states are up in flames as the hot and dry summer weather breaks out wildfires.

California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana all have over 10 fires that are over 1,000 acres in size. Oregon state police however are saying that a teenage male has started the Eagle Creek fire that is burning 20,000 acres.

Police believe that the teenager and his friends were using fireworks which had ignited the flames.
