今夏の山火事では370万ヘクタール、8000の建物が消失し、31の人命が失われました。また、10月2日の時点で、5万人が避難指示を受けていますが、カリフォルニアの山火事は9月末の熱波で再び広がりを見せています。米環境保護庁は、場所によってAQI値（Air Quality Index、空気質指数）が201-300（Very Unhealthy）から301-500（Hazardous）を示しており、住民の健康被害が懸念されると報告しています。

A late-September heat wave reinvigorated California’s already brutal 2020 fire season. As of Oct. 2, fires have charred more than 3.7 million acres and have destroyed more than 8,000 structures and taken at least 31 lives. More than 50,000 people faced evacuation orders. The Environmental Protection Agency’s Airnow system reported that many sensors across the state had measured unhealthy (between 150-200 on the air quality index) and hazardous (above 300 AQI) conditions.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
