USA TODAY Fifty-two large fires are currently burning 748,987 acres in the western United States, with many showing very little sign of containment.  The number of fires that have burned nationally by this time of year is the largest in a decade, with over 33,000 fires scorching upwards of 1.9 million acres by July 12, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The fires have forced evacuations in numerous areas amid a deadly heat wave and an intense drought.
