The wildfires on the west coast of the United States have killed dozens of people and left homes, buildings and dozens of acres burned in their wake.
But getting a grasp on how massive the fires have spread may be difficult for those away from the tragedy. NBC News reports the wildfires have burned more than 7,000 square miles of land - about the size of New Jersey.
To get a grasp on how big each individual fire has spread, NBC News created an interactive map that allows you to lay the size of each of 16 wildfires over any region in the United States.
