Wildfire-Alerts Apk 1.0.1

This app provides information about Wildfires in certain states in USA

Every year millions of American are affected by wildfires.

Drought, likely influenced by climate change, is one of the largest factors affecting the spread of wildfires in the United States, especially in the Western States. Climate change has helped spike the size and number of wildfires, as fire seasons have grown longer.

On average wildfire burn six times the acreage they did 40 years ago, while the annual number of wildfires over 1,000 acres was 50 during an average year in the 1970’s, today there are over 250 wildfires per year, that burn in excess of 1,000 acres.

The average length of a Wildfire Season has expanded from 5 months in the 1970’s to its present length of 7 months. Additionally, the winter snow pack now melts on average 4 weed earlier than it did in previous decades. As the average temperature rises more and more land is expected to burn each year, while wildfires are expected to increase in numbers and in size.
