California rises from the ashes again

Published on January 15, 2019
information-circle This article is more than 3 years old

In 2018, California faced its most destructive year of fires. Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 5, 2018, there were 6,228 fires that burned a total of 876,225 acres, nearly three times the total acreage burned last year, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. It can be estimated that tens of thousands of animals—pets, wildlife, and livestock—were impacted by the recent fires in the state, according to Allison Cardona, Deputy Director of County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control.
