Just steps from our home, the Silverado Forest Fire destroyed all life on mountains and fields.
From 2013 to 2022, there were an average of 61,410 wildfires annually and an average of 7.2 million acres impacted annually.
That can impact any of us.
OUR IMPACT, every spark, every flame, every blaze has repercussions far beyond the immediate burn. The Silverado Forest Fire and the statistics of past years are stark reminders of the delicate balance we must maintain with our environment. The destruction of habitats, the loss of biodiversity, and the displacement of wildlife highlight the urgent need for action.
Our response to these challenges shapes not only the future of our ecosystems but also the resilience of our communities. By understanding and mitigating the risks, advocating for sustainable practices, and supporting fire prevention efforts, we can contribute to preserving the natural beauty and health of our planet.
