Sudden increase in wildfires

by judyinalaska

The image on the right shows how many fires there were in interior Alaska as of about 6 days ago.  The one the left shows how many there are now.   The reason?  Lightning strikes.  At least one fire has destroyed homes and the smoke is creating a major health hazard.
