Deadly drought and heat: The West’s conflagrations

Deadly drought and heat: The West’s conflagrations.
I never get used to it even though it happens every year – raging wildfires across towns, counties and states.
Whether the fires are man-caused – intentional or not – or whether nature itself sparks the flames – dry lightening being the most dangerous – the end result is that the flames take the upper hand, destroying virtually everything in their path.
And, that fire is just one of many raging across that state.
But there are at least 12 fires across the state with no estimates on control or containment.
The number of destroyed or damaged homes and buildings remains open-ended too, as the flames continue their rampage.
While it’s easy to blame the drought or the heat for the fire dangers, the role of people must be considered.
But “civilized” man wanted to prevent forest fires by not allowing smaller fires, especially in areas that have not been burned for many years.
