Wildfires in the Western United States

There are still 34 "large incident" wildfires burning in the western United States.  None are currently in the state of Colorado, even though there is a small fire burning in Big Thompson Canyon.  The worst fires are burning in South Dakota, Washington, Idaho, and California.  Here are a few photos:

This woman's house in Clearlake Oaks, California was severely damaged by the fire - she and her family were evacuated just minutes before the fire reached their home
