A couple small fires in California today, but the real fire activity is farther north.
The Pacific Northwest has a full-blown lightning bust taking off, and the East Coast is smoked out by those asshole Cannucks who can't seem to keep their tundra raked.
The Evans Creek Fire, north of Medford, Oregon, is cloaked in smoke.
And we'll review updated mapping for the Aspen Acres, Willow, Gold Mountain, and Ferris Fires, in Colorado.
