DENVER Jason Kipnis
Jersey , the United States, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Despite some big
early-season blazes, 2017 was looking like a mild wildfire year in America's
West -- until two weeks ago when a rash explosion of wildfires across the West.

Although the rash of wildfires has claimed no lives and little property
destruction, it has polluted the air for millions of Americans across thousands
of miles (kilometers) of the West.

The National Interagency Fire Center reported this week that about 8.15
million acres (3.29 million hectares) have been destroyed in 2017, almost twice
as many as were burned last year, and on track to become the most damaging
wildfire season in U.S. history.

U.S. states of California and Oregon have taken the worst hit.

Governor of Oregon Kate Brown Friday asked the U.S. Army to help, and is
calling 2017 one of the worst wildfire seasons in state history.

On Monday, in the small city of Brookings Francisco
Lindor Jersey , Oregon, residents lined the streets and cheered the
Army National Guard they rolled through town to fight the nearby Chetco Bar
blaze that started in July and that has consumed 182,284 acres (73,767 hectares)
so far.

"The locals are always waving at us with smiles on their faces," said Army
Spec. Isaiah Wunische, with the 2nd Battalion, 218th Field Artillery Regiment.
Wunische said the town's residents have treated them like conquering heroes and
"helped keep morale extremely high."

By Monday, the Chetco Bar and High Cascades Complex wildfire blazes had
engulfed 250 Edwin
Encarnacion Jersey ,000 acres (101,171 hectares) and across the
state, and Oregon had 26 active fires totaling close to a half-million acres of
wilderness, the National Interagency Fire Command Center (Inciweb) reported.

In the state capital of Portland, 549 km north of Brookings, students at
Lewis & Clark College were complaining of smoke inhalation.

"We are not used to this kind of bad air-quality," said Gabriel Kelner,
20 Eddie
Robinson Jersey , an engineering student. "I went out for a run
today, and was coughing. The air was so bad," Kelner told Xinhua.

Meteorologists were warning residents throughout the region that the skies
wouldn't be clearing soon.

Oregon's massive Chetco Bar blaze was started by lightening, as were several
large fires in California that was seeing the brunt of the late season fire
activity.

"Warmer temperatures and lower humidity over the next few days, combined with
northeast winds, should increase fire activity along ridges and a line canyons,"
the Six Rivers National Forest Fire command in Northern California said Monday.

California has seen an extraordinarily destructive late 2017-fire season, a
total of 34 fires were active across the state and more than 300 Danny
Salazar Jersey ,000 acres (121,405 hectares) had been consumed,
Inciweb reported Monday.

The biggest fire is occurring in the Klamath National Forest, where 538
firefighters were working to contain a blaze that had gobbled up 100,000 acres
(40,468 hectares) as of Monday, Inciweb reported.

Residents in Idaho, Montana Corey
Kluber Jersey , Oregon, Washington and California have been
reporting terrible air quality as a result of the fires.

A 43,520 acre (17,611 hectare) wildfire east of Mount Rainier National Park
caused by lightening was shrouding the city of Seattle in smoke over the past
week, and weather experts predicted the air would not clear for sometime.

"It's a very gradual process right now," meteorologist Dustin Guy told the
Seattle Times.

Washington's largest fire this week crossed the border into Canada and is
burning 104,960 acres (42,475 hectares) of wilderness.

"Today Cody Allen
Jersey , and the next two to three days will pretty much be a copy
of yesterday," Guy said early Monday morning. "The combination of marine air and
smoke will keep a lid on temperatures," he said.

Guy noted that Seattle's air quality had improved slightly over the weekend,
but could worsen again as the haze from a score of fires in British Columbia may
worsen as the week stretches out.

As of Monday, America's fourth largest state, Montana, had a half-million
acres burning.

Fire crews were battling the Lolo Peak fire, the West Fork fire Carlos
Santana Jersey , the Highway 200 Complex Fire, and the Reef Fire,
each averaging about 100,000 acres (40,468 hectares) in size.

BERLIN, July 26 (Xinhua) -- A spokesperson for Daimler told Xinhua on
Wednesday that there was "nothing more to say" Bob Feller
Jersey , after reports surfaced that BMW had cancelled talks
concerning future cooperation between the two German luxury carmakers.

Over the weekend, allegations that leading German automotive brands --
including Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and Daimler-owned Mercedes-Benz -- have
colluded illegally since the 1990s were widely publicized by press.

According to information about the scandal obtained by the newspaper Spiegel,
Daimler had made a voluntary self-declaration of illicit meetings to European
Union (EU) antitrust authorities as early as 2014.

Another newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported on Tuesday night that this
circumstance has deeply angered BMW which has a long tradition of official
cooperation with Daimler and consequently feels betrayed.

Speaking to Xinhua, Daimler said it was unable to comment on what it
described as "media speculations".

In order for Daimler not to endanger its status as a principal witness, and
hence potentially evade prosecution, the Stuttgart-based company must maintain
