The big blow up of forest fires finally came to an end in Idaho. A record dry August fueled 1736 fires which burned three million acres destroying six billion board feet of timber. The fires claimed the lives of 85 persons, 78 of which were fire fighters, and consumed the entire town of Wallace. The smoke spread a third of the way around the world producing some dark days in the U.S. and Canada. The forest fires prompted federal fire protection laws. (David Ludlum)

The news that we get from the internet should be true and should be reliable. We may not have enough resources to gather the details that we need, but there is a way. There is a solution to a problem that we all want to solve. We can be dedicated and we can be responsible at the same time. Keep on reaching for that goal even when the road is hard to pass by. I will be the leader to spread the positive news that is posted here.
