An example for you: If it is 12 A.M in Eastern Standard Time, then it will be 5 A.M in Greenwich Mean Time. During the summer months, the time change results in a four hour difference between the two since the Eastern zone moves an hour forward in the spring.
The Great Black Dragon Fire -- 18 million acres. In 1987 the Great Black Dragon Fire burned three million acres in Northern China and 15 million acres in Siberia, making it the world's largest forest fire in recorded history.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) map below, the number of large wildfires â classified as 300 acres or bigger â was the highest in the West from 1994 to 2013. Every state in the West, except Wyoming, has at least one county that is in the category with the highest wildfire frequency (between 101 and 1,308 fires). When looking at the second-highest wildfire frequency category (21 to 100 fires), you can see that the Western states stand out with a large number of counties included. However, we should note that many of the counties in the West are much larger than counties in the states east of the Rockies.
