    Wildfires are gaining more interest as they have increased in every country . Watched the news about the recent fires in NY it is unbelievable how no one is taking measures to help prevent these wildfires. Not only is the forest burning but the fire is growing daily in California, homes businesses, communities and wildlife have been destroyed.
    It seems to be a new season for many . ‘Wildfire season’. I have no words for the extraordinary loss around the world due to drought , weather extremes and wildfires the last several years.

    Sending prayers to all those who have lost from wildfires and to the thousands of firefighters who fight for our communities, forests and saved the lives of so many.

    Update as of Thursday they were 90% contained then we got a bunch of rain and snow yesterday. I haven't read of anyone losing their home but unfortunately a young man who was fighting the fire did lose his life.

    That is a tragedy, Clay. It is always a tad extra sad when heros are lost.
