Not in Idaho. Most fires down around Boise where are the Californians have moved, there are a larger number of human caused fires. But up in my area, nearly every large fire currently burning was caused by lighting storms a couple of weeks ago. And today, it is going to hit 100 degrees. Saturday, it will hit 102 degrees. Sunday, we get more thunderstorms with little rain, so will have dozens more fires started.

Interesting! I'm reading "The big Burn" right now about the (Political) events leading up to the 1910 fires that burned thousands of acres in the pan handle including the town of Wallace. 's
