Wildfire accounted for 96% of the damages reported in the 2018 study, compared to only 18% in 2009. This shift demonstrates the emergence of a catastrophic fire hazard. #wildfire
New report, Large-Loss Fires and Explosions in the US in 2018, now out. Driven by a trio of costly California wildfires, the nation's largest-loss fires of 2018 accounted for $12.91 billion in losses, the most since 2001 https://t.co/nJ0kRsCO9j
