Abstract

Wildfires and wildfire smoke have always been a natural feature of California’s environment. The data are clear – since 1980, the wildfire season increasingly shifts earlier in the year (from August to July) and lasts longer. In California, the average length of the fire season is estimated to have increased by 75 days, along with an increase in the size of the wildfires.
