Grizzly Flats Isn’t Alone
Grizzly Flats is one of a number of communities that have been devastated by wildfires in what has unfortunately become a seemingly annual occurrence. This year alone, the Dixie Fire charged through the historic town of Greenville, California, while the town of Lytton, British Columbia, was razed by flames just days after setting Canada’s all-time heat record.
Other places have met the same fate, including Paradise, California, in 2018, and neighborhoods in Santa Rosa and Redding, both also located in California. The damage points to the urgent need for adaptation so that millions living in the forest have a better shot at not losing everything when the flames inevitably come.
