California prepares for intense wildfire season

World Today

California’s governor has announced an ambitious proposal for a $2 billion investment into wildfire preparedness as part of a wider $100 billion recovery plan.

The move comes after the state has been through one of its largest and most destructive wildfire seasons in 2020. And this year’s fire season has already begun with over 2,400 fires amid extremely dry weather conditions.
