Wildfires

Wildfires – Mongolia

A total of 97 forest and steppe fires have been recorded across Mongolia since the beginning of this year, destroying 1,051,907 hectares of forest and grassland, the country’s National Emergency Management Agency said Sunday. The number of registered wildfires is up around 73 percent compared with the same period last year.

Wildfires – Idaho, USA

The Four Corners Fire 24 air miles south of McCall, Idaho grew by about 1,000 acres to more than 10 000 acres Saturday as winds gusting up to 33 mph from a cold front caused more intense burning. The blaze is near the southeast side of Lake Cascade.

Wildfires – Oregon, USA

Rum Creek Fire in remote southwest Oregon continued its rapid spread through a rural area and destroyed several structures, after forcing evacuations and prompting the state to take command of efforts to contain the blaze. The fire has burned almost 15 square miles which is more than double the 7 square miles reported Saturday. A house and two mining structures were destroyed.
