The Idaho wildfires have forced the evacuation of 1,600 homes. Evacuation orders have been issued for the 100-square-mile Beaver Creek Fire including west of the towns of Hailey and Ketchum in central Idaho.

More than 600 state and federal firefighters are struggling to control the Idaho wildfires.

Firefighters and aircraft responded to several new fire starts in the Superior and Ninemile Ranger districts near Missoula, Montana.

Lightning sparked two wildfires in Arizona this week which are being fueled by dry brush and grass as temperatures remain between 105 and 110 degrees.
