The fires here in the Pacific Northwest are record breakers. Over the past couple weeks it was shocking at first and then tragically routine to hear the size of the fires reported in the morning and then a larger size reported hours later in the afternoon newscast. The air in Seattle has been very smoky, rated unhealthy to breathe on a number of days and Seattle's many many miles from the largest fires. Hundreds of square miles, hundreds of structures, three firefighters died last week, very tragic.
