Here is a link to an interactive map of the fires currently burning in the United States... WoW! USA Wildfires
One of them is burning about 35 miles to the southeast of my BOL. But at this point it's 80% contained.
Lewiston Hill in the Lewis/Clark Valley ID caught fire. I thought CAUGHT FIRE? Places just don't catch fire, poof I'm on fire. Anyway they got it out as of this morning.Update: Lewiston Hill fire mostly contained as of 10:30 p.m.
Our neighbors to the North are having a difficult summer also. There are also 39 fires in British Columbia.
The west is burning. Was in the UP this past week and could see a smoky haze. Up on Brockway Mtn you could catch whiffs of what smelled like burning ferns.
