Oh, my gosh. I had no idea how widespread this is. Thoughts and prayers for those fighting the fires and those who are in the paths of them. You and yours - stay safe.
It's a bit frightening, especially for those in a fire's path. Thanks, Vicki.
Let's hope there aren't any idiots flying drones in the way of any suppressant tankers.
FrankC, I hope you're right.
Rev. Paul,
Were these fires started from lightning, or did human's have something to do with it.....do you know?
This year fires haven't been as bad as they usually are here. Most of our fires are started from humans throwing their cigarettes out the window....their not to bright!!!
Sandy, the majority are from lightning, but the first big one (the Willow/Sockeye fire) was from fireworks. Not sure how many of the rest were human-caused.
