Wild Wildfire Season?
Wildfire season is kicking up - lots of news articles out there about wildland fires. This from FireFightingNews.com:
Only four days into summer, wildfires are already burning in record numbers as experts fear drought conditions mean a dangerous wildfire season in the U.S. Statistics complied by National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, show the 3.2 million acres burned up by 54,686 fires already this year tops the 10-year average of 39,240 fires burning a million acres.Although the fires have been mostly contained, experts say the dry ground is ripe for a worst-case scenario.
Around here, we are drier than normal, so I would expect some significant grass fires later this summer.
