2021 Wildfire season

Firefighters have given all they have to try and stop this blaze from crossing the highway.

Firefighters are gaining the upper hand on a forest fire that displaced thousands of people near Shasta Lake in Northern California.

Hot, dry weather added to the challenges facing California firefighters who are battling to keep flames from driving further into a grove of ancient sequoias, where the base of the world’s tallest tree has been wrapped in protective foil.

Thousands of Northern California homes remain threatened by the nation’s largest wildfire and officials warn the danger of new blazes erupting across the West is high because of unstable weather.

A wildfire is threatening several Montana towns and a California blaze that is the largest in the nation has continued to slowly spread as the Western United States burns.

Crews across the U.S. West are lighting controlled burns and taking other steps to prepare for the 2021 fire season that follows the worst one on record.
