Many residences and businesses are feeling the heat from the ongoing wildfires ravaging the West Coast.

One place in the midst of the destruction is Belushi’s Farm from the Discovery series GROWING BELUSHI, which follows operations at the legal cannabis farm, owned by actor and comedian Jim Belushi.

Located in Eagle Point, Oregon, the farm is located just three miles away from the fires, according to Belushi.

Belushi and Belushi’s Farm have kept their followers updated on social media over the last few days.

The farm’s last update Friday shows vault manager Amanda helping out in the local community.

As of Saturday evening, 28 people have been killed and dozens remain missing since the fires started in mid-August, according to CNN.

The effects of the wildfires can be seen across the coast, as an orange hue has draped the skies. Photographs of towns and cities all over Northern California can be seen in our gallery.
