In the last five years, California has experienced an average of 7,874 wildfires every year, burning 1,223,831 acres of land. Over 30 million houses were put at risk, with over 775,000 in grave danger, and the fires cost more than $22 billion in replacement costs. The combination of California's scorching summer temperatures, severe droughts, and strong regional winds causes the fires to move quickly, burning tens of thousands of acres in a couple of hours. Smoke has an impact on communities all around the country.

By signing this petition, you will contribute to raising awareness about the devastation caused by these disasters. You will not only raise awareness, but you will also save people's lives, animals' lives, homes, and communities.

This has an influence on me since preventing these fires will save both the public, as well as the environment - which is a major concern these days.
