In California a huge wildfire came to life after a campfire in the woods. It has destroyed many homes and has killed multiple people. The 2018 wildfire season in California has been one of the most destructive on record. there has also been multiple other fires in California there’s been the Mendocino Complex Fire it has burned more than 459,000 acres (1,860 km²), becoming the largest complex fire in the state’s history. There has also been the Thomas Fire and the Santiago Canyon Fire of 1889 to become California’s single-largest recorded wildfire. In mid-July to August 2018, a series of large wildfires erupted across California, mostly in the northern part of the state, including the destructive Carr Fire and the Mendocino Complex Fire. On August 4, 2018, a national disaster was declared in Northern California, due to the massive wildfires burning there. In November 2018 foehn winds caused another round of large, destructive fires to erupt across the state. This new batch of wildfires includes the Woolsey Fire and Camp Fire, the latter of which has thus far killed 48 people and destroyed more than 7,177 structures, becoming both California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfire on record. Many different factors led to the 2018 California wildfire season becoming so destructive. A combination of an increased amount of natural fuel and compounding atmospheric conditions linked to global warming led to a series of destructive fires. Recent research on wildfires in California, published in August 2018, predicted an increase in the number of wildfires as a consequence of climate change.
