Cleaning up a little bit

Hey all, with some major fires currently burning in multiple parts of the state I think it would be good to clean up the article a little bit - the 'Fires' subsection should, IMO mostly be subsumed into the table, which isn't complete yet. The rest of the article can focus on the climatology/fire risk this year, and maybe a short narrative about the season's activity and impacts. Thoughts?

Additional fires...

Hey everyone!

News report from Lewis County - "23 wildfires burning in Lewis County, and there could be more"^[1]

This type of article isn't my forte, and you all got this better than I ever could, so just thought I'd add this in case someone wishes to expand the article. If it doesn't fit the criteria (say, the fires aren't big enough to be notable), I defer to you good people!
