There been a lot of talk about these wildfries. People are losing there lives and homes because of these fires. They have migrate to diffrent places to get away from this outlandish wildfires. California is no stranger to wildfires, but over the past few years it has seen a sharp increase in the number, severity and duration of those devastating eruptions. California wildfires are no longer a seasonal problem: they are a year-round emergency that has displaced people, houses, pets and natural resources. State conditions – long, hot summers, periodic droughts, and fierce winds – especially the Santa Ana winds – make it an ideal place for wildfires to burn and germinate. These are only getting worse because of climate change: warming temperatures and prolonged droughts have scorched the vegetation and made it an easy and affordable source of heat. Along with the damage to property, California wildfires create terabytes of smoke that will drastically impact air quality. Neighborhoods in flame areas breathe contaminated air, and residents even further away can become impacted by the diffused smoke. That puts those most vulnerable such as the elderly, children and people with respiratory conditions at particular risk. Firefighting equipment and methods have not kept up with the rate of recent fires, and some can burn for weeks or months.The 2020 fire season, for instance, burned more than 4 million acres, both in terms of acres burned and fires per year. Recovery from such fires takes years. Every year, thousands of homes are destroyed, communities lost. Restoration of environmental systems is also complicated by the magnitude of the destruction to forests, wildlife habitats and ecosystems.

The great fire of 1910 relates to this calfornia fires. The great fire of 1910 it was the driest year known to man. These fires cause major damage to wooden structure people lost their homes and it was one of largest fires in american history. Millons of tress were damaged and the fire spread at constent rate. We can see a pattern that when a place is not getting moist weather fires tend to start.

In 1910, the US experienced one of the driest seasons in history, and the wildfire that broke out spread over more than 3 million acres of land due to the dry vegetation, high winds, and lack of moisture. The weather conditions played a major part in the severity of the fire and the rates at which it grew were previously unknown. The fire engulfed for a number of days and the lives of 87 individuals, a majority of them firefighters were lost. Over 8 billion board feet of timber were destroyed, a fact that it would cause no less but considerable alterations environmentally and economically.

The burning of the fire, which on the other hand is like the wildfires happening in California now, this huge fire is focused on one constituent

That is, the drying, heat, and parchedness of the places are the factors that caused the fire to spread. When the world is getting drier and drier as a result of the lessening of the trees, which is mainly due to the long-term droughts and the global warming phenomenon, as fire-wiping is becoming more and more frequent. Where the vegetation remains, the areas are more likely to be dry, even a small spark can cause a giant fire.

The wildfires' consequences not only involve the environment but also the economy. They are a reply to an aforementioned question, but they are also the beginning of an argument.
