Today we are starting our seventh year of Wildfire Today. Since we began on January 6, 2008 we have published 4,657 articles. We are still covering news and issues related to wildland fire. And not simply that a fire occurred somewhere, but we prefer to write about topics and events that are interesting — not only to firefighters but to anyone with an interest in wildland fire, or who may live in a fire-prone environment. We don’t attempt to cover every fire, or even every very large fire, but if an event or news item interests us, we hope that you will find it to be worth your while.

In 2013 the three articles that were commented on the most were about the first Yarnell Hill Fire report (215 comments), the Rim Fire at Yosemite National Park (112 comments), and the second report on the Yarnell Hill Fire (103 comments).

As we enter our year number seven and the 2014 calendar year, we want to thank our loyal readers, folks who send us news tips, and our supporters, BFX Fire Apparatus, Coaxsher, and TENAX.
