It becomes more and more likely that the level of destruction and smoke caused by wildfires like Camp Fire will become normal for California. It felt unreal to read about the unbreathable air quality in November, to hear about the shortage of respirator masks from friends and acquaintances. Kids couldn’t go to school, people couldn’t leave their homes safely, and those without homes were subject to even more danger. But conditions continue to become drier and hotter in regions like this.
