Humans Cause Most U.S. Wildfires | San Francisco News
Description
Over 85% of U.S. wildfires are human-caused, with trash and yard waste burning sparking over 600,000 fires and millions of acres lost—little has changed in decades. In California, humans blame for 67% of blazes, mostly from cars, equipment, or arson (over 25,000 cases). Smoking-related fires have dropped sharply nationwide and in CA. Power lines are rising concerns, especially nationally, though some states are making progress. Experts stress that while prevention is vital, we must also make homes fire-resistant and manage land to reduce fuel buildup.
