This year has been the worst fire year on record, last year was the worst before this one...these current fires are more like firestorms than wildfires with thousands of acres already burned and smoke covering the entire western US....so why are they so bad? also we talk to Shasta-Trinity National Forest Rangeland Technician Scott Dunbar about the ways the misuse of land has led us to experience these giant blazes.

Can we ask you for a favor? Please rate and subscribe on itunes, the 5 star kind of course! It really helps :) We will forever be in your debt, thank you.
