Here s where California wildfires are burning in the state
Fire season was ramping up in California again, as fires of various sizes burned across the state.
As of July 2021, the number of fires was outpacing averages of past fire seasons. This was due to a number of reasons, including dry conditions, high winds and record-setting temperatures.
In an effort to prevent fires, several utility companies, including Pacific Gas & Electric, said they would spend about $13 billion in wildfire prevention. PG&E s plan would cover 2021 and 2022, and includes a computerized risk model that would pinpoint the areas most prone to wildfires. From there, PG&E could concentrate safety work in those areas.
