In Anchorage, Alaska we’ve had less than an inch of rain in the last 41 days. We had a 13-acre wildfire in a park in town yesterday that they estimate they can’t fully extinguish for a few days. Statewide, over one million acres have burned so far this season. It is crazy dry and hot.

Your state is just catching up to California, Utah, Oregon, and others. Less rain, no controlled burns, insufficient resources for land management (clearing brush, etc.), Higher temperatures, and now you have a recipe for disaster. I'm sorry for your loss.
