The fires that happened over the labor day weekend was probably more significant than any other one we had, due to the covid-19 pandemic. It would be so hard to have residents move out of their houses during the covid-19 pandemic because they are already scared of the virus getting them, and if they move someplace else it would be very hard for them to find a job so they could become unemployed. California's climate is relatively warm, and the lack of rainfall during the summer causes it to become very dry. According to the New York times, "Its vegetation then spends much of the summer slowly drying out... That vegetation then serves as kindling for fires." Climate change and fire-prone weather kind of links together, which could create even worse fires in the future, as long as there are people there to start it.
