Over 800,000 acres burned already and the traditional fire season (say thirty years ago) would just be beginning. The NYTimes has put together a list of the 30 largest fires in California since 2000…three are burning now, one of those is the largest in history, another is already in the top ten. Scary list.
Experts expect the western states to move toward use of controlled burns, less on simply try to stop fires which are clearly and naturally inevitable.
