This year, wildfires have already destroyed more than 400 buildings - most of them homes - and forced the evacuation of thousands of people. In 2000, more than 70,000 wildfires in 14 states charred upward of 6 million acres, and in 2002 wildfires burned across seven states, scorching more than 815 structures and costing more than $1.6 billion.
