Nearly 15,000 wildfires have broken out across the United States so far this year, well above the ten-year average of nearly 9,000.
This increase has led many U.S. fire officials to claim there is no longer a fire season and instead can be expected at any time!
Right now, fires are burning in the Carolinas, Georgia, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
The National Fire Information Center says that this month, significant wildfire potential can be expected in the southwest and southeast.
