Wildfire Picture Gallery
This picture gallery shows the impact of wildfires. Wildfires have huge impact on affected communities, the state and the nation. They create great economic loss in terms of reduced real estate value, loss of economic productivity, cost of fire suppression, watershed and habitat destruction and pollution. It is estimated that the total annual economic impact of wildfire on the nation exceeds $ 10 billion.
We can make a difference. As individuals and as a community we can assume responsibility for our environment and become good stewards.
