Fires in the West Fueled by Climate Change and Fire Suppression
Experts warn that decades of suppressing small fires and warming temperatures have set the stage for massive wildfires in California and across the West. The Park Fire grew to hundreds of square miles, drawing comparisons to the 2018 Camp Fire, while more than 110 active fires burned nationwide. Analysts note increased fire intensity, longer seasons, and altered forests, with invasive grasses replacing some trees. The solution emphasized is returning to controlled burns, despite logistical and policy challenges, to prevent even larger future blazes.
