A video looking back on 2023 and the strong work in the CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit. Our Unit did not see the destructive wildfires that it has in years past - just 345 wildfires that burned only 676 acres in 2023. For a recent comparison to show how much of a relief we’ve seen, the annual averages between 2015-2020 was 526 wildfires that burned on average over 172,000 acres per year across Colusa, Lake, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties.

Wildfires generally occur between May and September, and they’re most prevalent in British Columbia and the Boreal forest zones of Ontario, Quebec, the Prairie provinces, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. Consider these tips to prepare for a wildfire before one arrives. #WildfireSafety #WildfirePreparedness #HomeProtection #WildfireSeason #GetReady

So far this year in California, over 3,500 wildfires have burned 207,000 acres of land. This is approximately 20 times more than the same period last year. As Joe Tyler from Cal Fire stated, "We are not just in a fire season, but we are in a fire year."

Wildfires Threaten Nearly One Third of U.S Residents and Buildings Photo Credit: A highway warning sign displays a message while the sun is shrouded in thick wildfire smoke behind it on August 15, 2021 near Lakeview, Oregon. Mathieu Lewis-Rolland/Getty Images A new approach to calculating wildfire risk shows that more people and places in the U.S. are in harm’s way than previously thought USDA Forest Service, working with Montana researchers, took a new approach to measuring #wildfirerisk and limited its historical analysis to the 15 years between 2004 and 2018. A previous analysis considered conditions over 34 years ending in 2012. Nearly 75 percent of #tribal area residents are in counties with high wildfire risk. And nearly 20 percent of high-risk counties have a large share of mobile homes, the analysis found. The new version includes updated data about where homes and buildings are located and what types of trees, shrubs and grasses are present on various #landscapes . The changes help capture the risk of “low-probability, high-impact events like those that we’ve recently seen in parts of the country, like the Pacific Northwest,” Pohl of Headwaters said. “And we’re better able to represent the way embers can spread #wildfires into communities.” Link to the full article below:
