If you have been or looked outside today you have seen smoke in the air. As you probably already know this is due to the wildfires out West. There are more than 80 of them. People are being evacuated in certain towns of California and Washington.

More than 440 California National Guard soldiers have joined the firefighters this week, and thousands more are currently being trained to help out the firefighters who are sure to be overwhelmed. Being outside in firefighter gear in the middle of summer fighting a fire is really exhausting. Hope they can get control of these wildfires soon.
