Never before have so many acres burned in America up to this point in the year. I just went and checked the latest numbers from the National Interagency Fire Center, and it turns out that we are now on pace for the worst year for wildfires in all of U.S. history. So far in 2015, wildfires have burned an astounding 9,799,866 acres. Before this, the worst year for wildfires was in 2006 when a total of 9,506,582 acres had burned through November 13th. MORE
