I wanted to do something wildfire-related in the wake of the big Yosemite rim fire. I found a top ten list of fires nationwide -- which was pretty cool, because seven of the ten happened here in California. All the main source gave me was the name of the fire, the nearest city, the date and value of property loss. I had to research everything else, including acres burned, homes destroyed, fatalities and the writeup for each. Our photo archives weren't nearly as much help as I had hoped they'd be. I've heard from a number of area fire departments, so I think the page was well-received -- at least from that field. Sept. 2, 2013.
