California wildfire advances as heat wave blankets US West
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Firefighters struggled to contain an exploding Northern California wildfire under blazing temperatures as another heat wave hits the U.S. West this weekend, prompting an excessive heat warning for inland and desert areas.
On Friday, Death Valley National Park in California recorded a staggering high of 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 Celsius) and could reach the same high on Saturday. If verified, the 130-degree reading would be the hottest high recorded there since July 1913, when the same Furnace Creek desert area hit 134 F (57 C), considered the highest reliably measured temperature on Earth.

Well, we ve got a lot of smoke in the Bitterroot Valley and Missoula, so there must be a lot of fire. And there is - in Idaho and Montana.
The Bitterroot Valley is being smothered by smoke from the Dixie Fire, south of Grangeville, Idaho. It has grown to over 17,198 acres as of Tuesday morning, and the nearby Jumbo Fire is at about 1,000 acres. The Dixie Fire has been growing in all directions, according to the Nez Perce-Clearwater Forest officials. Idaho firefighters are also fighting six huge fires south of Lewiston, Idaho, including the 158,000 acre Snake River Complex. Add that acreage to the other five blazes and you increase the size to over 250,000 acres. The prevailing winds are bringing that smoke our way.
