National Park Wildfire

A wildfire is burning on both rims of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. It's such a beautiful, wild place, the thought of a fire makes me sick. You enter the park at the rim but I've also taken a boat trip through part of the canyon and, on my last trip, we discovered a road to the bottom.

There is a recent non-fiction book called "Fire Weather" by John Vaillant. It tells the story of the Canada fires and how the colision of man and nature resulted in the devistation.
