As a former Californian, I am certainly familiar with wildfires🔥. The harm that wildfires pose to homes is evident. In addition to directly destroying homes, the potential risks of wildfires also include affecting property values and increasing homeowners insurance expenses.
It is worth noting that in 2021, Colorado experienced a terrible large-scale wildfire—the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, which destroyed nearly 1,000 homes, resulting in economic losses of over $500 million. (Source: Colorado Sun)
