This year is a record breaker for fires.
Right now the East Troublesome Fire in Colorado is 11 miles west of our family cabin and moving east. Hope all these fires get contained or rained out.
I was surprised to see how many fires the OP's map showed were currently burning in Texas (looks like ~ 18 fires). When I went to
Texas A&M's map of current Texas fires, it shows only 3 fires burning in the state of Texas today.
I wonder why the difference?
