Wildfires

Wildfires USA

A lightning-sparked wildfire fanned by high winds has destroyed at least a dozen homes as it threatens hundreds of others near Park City, a Utah resort town where firefighters prepared to battle the blaze for a second day Wednesday.

The blaze was among several others in the West, where fires have devoured dry grass and brush and burned to the edges of small communities in several states. In about a dozen Western states, crews were actively fighting fires where drought has dried out landscapes and contributed to extreme fire behaviour.
