Megafire Action has one mission: to end the megafire crisis within a decade. In the last 40 years we’ve seen a new type of fire emerge: Megafire. Megafires burn 100k acres or more, often with an intensity that devastates ecosystems. And they’re getting more common every year: 17 of California’s 20 largest fires have happened in the last 20 years. Megafire Action is the first organization focused solely on enacting policies to solve this crisis. We want prevention and mitigation to get the same focus as suppression and emergency response. Getting there will mean bringing good fire back into Western ecosystems and creating thousands of jobs in rural communities. We’ll also need to improve our ability to detect, track, and predict megafire behavior. Megafire is solvable, but we need solutions that meet the scale and urgency of the problem. A lot needs to happen and we’re going to hold policymakers accountable for progress.
