Millions of acres are burning. Historically high numbers. That is horrible. But worse than that, at least 35 people have died in the wildfires. Many people are missing so we dont know the total number. Hopefully it is not so many more. Fromefighter lost his life the fire, just a recent report on another one. The acrestates are 20 times the amount this time last year. 20 times. We saw some of the reaching washington, d. C. It has covered the country.
