I live in Central Washington where a lot of the current fires are burning. I have lots of friends that are fighting on the lines now or have over the years, most of my family has as well. Its interesting to read articles about something that is a reality to you, as if it was some strange thing happening in far off lands that you get to read about in NatGeo.
There is no drought that caused this, this years fire season has been waiting to happen for a long time. Better it happen now then wait to get worse. Hopefully, moving forward we can start practicing better forest maintenance and fire controls.
