Wildfires

The most destructive fire in Michigan's history.

Luckily no one was hurt.

Smoke from at least 80 wildfires burning across western Canada and 13 US states has reached Mid-Michigan. Watch this drone footage from 1,600 feet above Earth.

The smoke could affect the air quality in southeastern Michigan this week, so be prepared.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has sent 17 firefighters to help battle wildfires in California, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon. The firefighters serve in various capacities as part of incident management teams, including fire-line management, public information responsibilities, and heavy equipment bosses and operators.

Those wildfires in Colorado don’t show much sign of abating. In fact, more than 32,000 residents in or near Colorado Springs, the state’s second-largest city, were ordered to evacuate after the Waldo Canyon Fire doubled in size Tuesday night.

The wildfires of Colorado right now are a depressing sight to see, even more so when you have friends that reside in the ares.
