70 wildfires Burning Now

The Egan Fire on 06302012
Eagen Fire, White Pine County, NV.
 Currently, according to the Incident Information system of the Unioted States Forest Service, here are currently about 70 wildfires burning in the United States.  http://www.inciweb.org/
We have all heard of the large fires in Colorado, but fires are burning everywhere, like Alaska, Minnesota, Nevada and other states.  The fires range in size, from about 11 acres to almost 300,000 in New Mexico.
Hopefully, some rain will be coming to these states and that the firefighters remain safe.
Of course, for many of these wildfire firefighting crews are part time firefighters,many from the nation's Indian reservations.  These firefighters like a fire season like this because for many, this represents most, if not all their annual income. 
So, let's be safe out there, both for homeowners and firefighters.
