There is more than one state. Basically, any western state that has an active volcano that is part of a chain is on the ring of fire. That means California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska are sitting along the "ring", which is actually areas where the Pacific Plate is subducting underneath another plate. Hawaii does have volcanoes that are part of a chain, but they were formed by a hot spot, while the volcanoes of the ring of fire are formed by subduction of one plate underneath another.
