USA Hasn’t Seen A Fire Season Like This In Six Years

Thursday, August 24th, 2006 Property

Hundreds of thousands of acres, mostly in the West, continued to burn Wednesday in the nation’s most intense wildfire season in six years. Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Oregon were seeing the worst of the fires Wednesday as nearly 760,000 acres burned in the four states. Fire officials have said that the West is seeing the worst of the fires, but people across the country lower the damage risk to their property by cleaning dead materials from their properties, planting flowers and other moist foliage and removing woodpiles from porches.
