California Wildfires are Spreading Faster Now Than at the Beginning of the Millennium

It looks like California wildfires are moving faster than ever before. A new study found the growth rate across the West increased by 249-percent between 2001 and 2020. But here, it was 398-percent. That means fires exploded to more than four-thousand acres each day, burning nearly 90-percent of all homes and buildings damaged or destroyed across the region. The risk is high after heat waves and during drought conditions, especially during Diablo and Santa Ana winds.
