Gavin Newsom announced today that, as of this time last year, 118,000 acres had been burned by wildfires. So far in 2020, the state has seen 2.3 million acres burned. “We’re just entering into fire season this year,” said the governor, and this is already “the largest fire season we’ve had in recent recorded history. Extreme fire events that we believe are climate-induced,” said the governor, require stronger commitments from state, local and federal governments.
