This Spring Could Bring The Largest Wildfire Spread in U.S. History
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that this spring could see the largest geographic spread of wildfires in U.S. history. Drought conditions and strong winds are fueling fires from the Carolinas to Los Angeles and may extend into Minnesota and Texas. Many affected areas lack wildfire preparedness, raising concerns about firefighting resources, property damage, and public safety. As wildfires continue to spread, the lack of infrastructure and emergency response in newly affected regions could have severe consequences.
