    Using states as a unit of measure for forest fires seems to be a common thing. A couple decades ago I flew into Fairbanks Alaska , and as we were getting close to landing the pilot told everybody not to panic if we smelled smoke because it was just the forest fires that were covering an area the size of Massachusetts.
