The 2017 wildfire season was arguably one of the worst in history for the American West. In California alone, nearly 9,000 wildfires burned 1.2 million acres of land, destroyed more than 10,800 structures, and killed 46 people. Beyond California, there were significant fires in Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Utah, and Texas. The scope of 2017’s fires drew media attention worldwide, and sparked conversations about wildfire prevention and planning (most of the fires were human-caused).
