With lives lost, properties destroyed, and the relentless threat of fire spreading due to weather conditions, the urgency of Spade’s initiative cannot be overstated. Authorities continue to piece together the puzzle of these catastrophic blazes, as communities find hope in Spade’s reward to deter further tragedy.
Destruction and Danger in California
