PORTLAND, Or. — A Portland boy, 6, is doing his part to support firefighters and their families after hearing about the three brave men killed in a wildfire up in Washington State last week.

Abay Milner, like most kids his age, is always asking questions and wanting to know more. So, when he noticed a thick smoky haze settling in over Portland, he wanted to know what was going on.

“I thought, where is the smoke coming from? That’s the first thing I thought,” Milner told KPTV. “Then I thought, why is the smoke all the way here in Portland? And then I heard there was a wildfire, and then I heard it was far away, so I thought that’s good, because there was no ashes in the smoke.”
