Weather conditions Tuesday were helping at least temporarily to calm two gigantic wildfires in the West but there was bad news for a tiny California community savaged by flames last weekend, and property losses increased in Oregon.

Damage assessment teams have so far tallied 36 structures destroyed and seven damaged in Indian Falls, said Nick Truax, an incident commander for the massive Dixie Fire in the mountains of Northern California.

An inversion layer on Monday trapped smoke over much of the fire, and the shade helped lower temperatures and keep humidity up, incident meteorologist Julia Ruthford said. Authorities were hopeful that cool temperatures, increased humidity and isolated showers will help them continue to make progress against the nation's largest wildfire, the Bootleg Fire in southern Oregon. It was 53% contained after scorching 640 square miles of remote land.

Expert: climate change expected to bring longer wildfire seasons and more area burnedA combination of drought, heat and drier fuels is causing larger areas to be burned in British Columbia, says an expert. This of course means less oxygen producing trees, and much more carbon producing dead ones which increases climate change. Until BC is burned up! Now only if the government was smart enough to remove most of the red tape so regular citizens can just jump in and help fight the fires. It's a state of emergency, can't be picky when you need the help. And it brings the community together.
