Thirteen fires from south to north & east to west has Washington state on the busy side trying to get these fires under control! As bad as it is for many Washingtonians & current, it's a lot worse for folks in central Idaho & also Idaho's panhandle area which has fires clear up to the Canadian border. The Bonners Ferry area just south of the Canadian border has the Kootenai River Complex fire which so far has burned 18,646 acres so far. Fire personnel which are spread far & wide all over Washington, Idaho & Montana do not have the resources to extinguish these size of fires so rely on the containment strategy which does work, sometimes. I believe that the Moose fire in central Idaho @ 125,993 acres is one of the be the more nasty fires in Idaho. The Double Creek fire has so far burned 147,582 acres.
From Enterprise Oregon going east to the Idaho/Montana border there is a whopping 23 fires not counting the fires both north & south of that particular fire belt stretching across central Idaho. Other fires dotting the map(too many to count) range from just a few hundred acres to 135,000 or more acres. We have a fellow USMB member living somewhere in the general area of the Boulder Mountain fire which is 30 miles or so north of my acreage. Make sure to ask Maker to keep him, his loved ones & dwelling safe from the fires. I like near got burned out last year with the freaking Corkscrew fire like the Corkscrew fire was a FAST moving inferno(pine trees & crops were it's fuel!). Below are two links some of my fellow board members may find interesting.
