Reply to comment by E36E92M3 in YOU SHOULD KNOW: While the smoke has been very bad, Washington’s 2022 fire season has been the mildest in a decade by ClimateChangeC

Yeah. Sure the fires didn't break out until much later in the year, but this has also been the hottest year that I can remember. With all the heat waves and the basically no rain we had this summer, the lack of fires feels more like dumb luck then anything else.

Education and preemptive burning helped. I hope we will see fewer man made fires from dumb incidents, because drought and fuel availability is not going away.
