Dixie Fire

Humans have increasingly encroached on nature, settling in wildfire prone areas. Combined with a history of fire suppression and anthropogenic spark ignitions, these ingredients form a recipe for wildfires amid continued climate change.

In light of the increasingly severe and frequent wildfires in western U.S. forests, low-density forests could have enhanced resilience to stressors.

PG&E announced a safety initiative to protect communities from the threat of wildfire by moving 10,000 miles of power lines in areas with high fire risk underground.
