This is one of several fires this summer in the west of the United States, where it anticipates a difficult season in 2025, after a dry winter and a hot spring. California will also face additional challenges due to staff cuts and funds in federal agencies that work in preventing and combating fire. The state still recovered from the fires that devastated Los Angeles and caused the death of 30 people in January.
