Acres of the western US are burning right now with prevailing winds whipping the fires along and blowing the air into the Salt Lake valley. The air is so bad that the mountains are not visible, nor is the Capitol even though I am only across the small canyon of City Creek. Health advisories recommend staying indoors and even inside my eyes and throat burn.
Besides that I know two guys who are hot shot firefighters, a designation not an adjective. I always worry about their safety in the hot months. Some of the fires are natural disasters from lightning and some are human stupidity. Climate change has wreaked havoc on several areas of forest so the wood is even more likely to burn.
