Explosive California wildfires could burn into December

India TV News  

Smoke from California’s wildfires choked people on the East Coast. “Here we are — it’s not the end of August and the size and distribution and the destruction of summer 2021 wildfires does not bode well for the next months,” said Bill Deverell, a University of Southern California history professor who teaches about fire in the West. “When you see one of those develop that fast in heavy timber and already see another dozen fires in California running crazy it doesn’t take much to light your lightbulb or ring your bell.” Ten of the state’s largest and 13 of the most destructive wildfires in the top 20 have burned in the last four years. With much of California experiencing exceptional drought, the highest intensity, according the U.S. Drought Monitor, large fires in the north could burn into early December, said Anthony Scardina, deputy regional forester for the Forest Service. “Every time a new one starts it’s like going to Toys R Us on Christmas Eve expecting to get a gift,” Hawkins said, “and finding nothing on the shelf.” Also Read: National forests closed as California wildfires surge
