Last year marked California’s largest and most ferocious wildfire season on record. Over 9,500 wildfires swept across the state, burning more than 4 million acres of land and resulting in 37 lives lost. The outlook for this year's fire season is shaping up to be potentially even more devastating. Every year these brutal wildfires and their aftermath wreak havoc across the state, risking lives and land, destroying homes, and costing Californians millions of dollars.
