Across the western United States, wildfire season is well underway, and
dozens of fires are currently being fought. In Colorado, the High Park
fire has destroyed more than 180 homes, the most in state history. The
Whitewater-Baldy Complex fire, New Mexico's largest-ever wildfire, was
recently declared 75 percent contained, after the lightning-sparked
blaze began has burned for more than a month.
Crews from California to Wyoming are approaching the
wildfires
with aerial water drops, ground equipment, brush clearing, and
controlled burns. Gathered here are recent photos of some of these
incidents, early glimpses of an already-busy 2012 wildfire season.
