Although these fires have been burning for close to a month, today is the first day they have been reported by the National Interagency Fire Center.
No effort has been made to suppress these fires. Today a cold front is expected to generate strong winds, and these fire could blow up to mega proportions. Massive forest and watershed damage is occurring and is expected to increase enormously today.
Clearwater NF Forest Supervisor Rick Brazell is the government official responsible for causing this disaster.
