inciweb.nwcg.gov is the site we use out here to track our western fires.
Here in southern Colorado we awaken to dark, smoke filled skies each day. That smoke is coming to us all the way from Montana. Many of you are familiar with the history of the 1910 conflagration that swallowed whole towns near Lolo, Montana. The Great Burn is one book covering that fire season.
Check out the explosion occurring east of Portland on the Columbia River Gorge. The Eagle Creek fire has jumped the Columbia, the largest river in the west.
We've got a small (12 acres) creeper in the ponderosa pines a few miles from here. Boggy Draw just north of Dolores, Colorado. It is doing some good for the forest. We may have a new morel spot next spring.
disasterresponsemaps.arcgis.com is another useful and interesting site.
