A second round of fierce wildfires are raging across seven drought-ridden states in the western U.S. More than 330 fire fighting crews are being deployed to battle the 320 fires reported as of this morning. Hundreds of fire engines, helicopters and air tankers are also being sent to the region, while two Marines battalions are being trained as quickly as possible. Fire is also engulfing western areas in Canada, where more than 2 million acres are ablaze.
