The Glass Fire was a wildfire in Northern California, that started on September 27, 2020, at 3:48 AM (PDT) from an undetermined cause and was active for 23 days. [2] It was part of the 2020 California Wildfires and the 2020 Western United States wildfire season. The fire was named due to its origin nearby Glass Mountain Road in Deer Park, Napa County, and it extended also into Sonoma County. [3] [4] [5] [6] Initially a single 20-acre brush fire, it rapidly grew and merged with two smaller fires that expanded to 11,000 acres during the night of September 27 into September 28. [7] [8] [9]

Impact

The Glass Fire was fully contained on October 20, 2020, after burning over 67,484 acres and destroying 1,555 structures, including 308 homes and 343 commercial buildings in Napa County, as well as 334 homes in Sonoma County. [10] [11] No injuries or deaths were reported as a result of the fire. [12] An estimated 70,000 people were under evacuation orders in the regions surrounding the Glass Fire. [13] CAL FIRE officials lifted all remaining evacuation orders related to the fire on October 19, 2020. [14]

Numerous structures were destroyed in Deer Park, including the Foothills Adventist Elementary School. [15] Additionally, the fire destroyed or damaged 31 wineries, restaurants, and lodges in the region, including the famous 41-year-old Chateau Boswell Winery near St. Helena, and the 13th-century–style winery Castello di Amorosa winery near Calistoga, which lost $5 million worth of wine (based on 120,000 bottles), though its $30 million castle remains safe. [16] California's oldest resort, the White Sulphur Springs Resort, was also destroyed. [17] The three-Michelin-starred The Restaurant at Meadowood also burned to the ground on September 28, 2020. [18]

Following the Glass Fire, viticulturists in the Napa Valley were uncertain about whether their grape harvests would be affected by smoke taint. Eight percent of the season's wine grapes were left unharvested as unusable. [19]

Response

More than 2,000 firefighters participated in the extinguish efforts. [20] [21]

Soon after the fire began, on September 27, 2020 the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help ensure the availability of vital resources to suppress the Glass Fire. [22]

On September 28, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom declared the state of emergency for Napa, Sonoma and Shasta counties due to the Glass and Zogg fires ravaging the area at the time. [23] A day later, on September 29, the Governor signed a series of bills aimed at improving the state's wildfire preparedness, supporting the mitigation efforts, and assisting victims. [24] On October 1, 2020, Newsom visited an area in Napa county hard hit by the Glass Fire and promised at a press conference that he would seek long-term solutions to the wildfire problems facing the state. [25]

On October 7, 2020, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection announced an investigation into allegations that private firefighting crews set illegal backfires to protect their clients' properties from the Glass Fire during the first week of October. [26] This practice has sparked controversy over safety issues and unequal access to resources for private property protection. [27]

On October 22, 2020, Governor Newsom announced that the Counties of Napa and Sonoma were added to the Presidential Major Disaster Declaration, which was initially approved by the White House on October 16, 2020 to bolster California's emergency response to wildfires across the state. [28] [29] [30]   The Declaration also allowed individuals who lost their home or sustained other losses due to wildfires to apply for federal assistance to help them pay for such needs as rent, home repairs, medical, dental or funeral costs, and other serious disaster-related expenses. [31]

Lessons

California Governor Gavin Newsom responding to the 2020 California wildfires and addressing defensible space policy on July 10, 2020.

On October 21, 2020, video evidence of Napa and Sonoma damaged wineries [32] once again triggered thinking about the role of defensible space [33] in reducing the impact of unwanted wildfire, [34] and underscored the importance of maintaining a buffer area to reduce structural damage, such as that suffered by the wineries in Napa and Sonoma as a result of the Glass Fire. [35] In Australia, for example, fire-prone areas [36] were identified and combined with a Geography Information System to mitigate their negative impact on lives and infrastructures. Specific restrictions in the Building Code of Australia were also highlighted for construction inside these regions. [37]

Regarding reconstruction [38] in affected counties, the instructions from the California State Government [39] suggested removing nearby vegetation and using fire-resistant building materials. [40] Although there are studies and examples proving that fire incidents that occur in extreme weather are difficult to avoid despite defensible space policies, [41] this will allow estate owners and firefighters to have more reaction time. [42]

Potential health impacts

Wildfire smoke created hazardous conditions in the region in September 2020. Smoke from wildfires in Northern California polluted the air, with air quality index readings reaching 170, [43] well above the threshold considered “unhealthy” air quality. [44]

Exposure to wildfire smoke can have adverse effects on human health, including lung capacity development among children. [45] According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), those with an existing respiratory illness, cardiovascular disease or diabetes, as well as seniors, children, and pregnant women, are at higher risk of health complications when exposed to wildfire smoke. [46] Stanford University researchers estimate that approximately 3,000 deaths in August and September 2020 in California can be attributed to exposure to wildfire smoke, especially among seniors with pre-existing conditions. [47]

Exposure to wildfire smoke also takes a toll on healthcare systems, with visits to emergency rooms for respiratory symptoms spiking during wildfire events. [48] Two evacuations in five weeks of the Adventist St. Helena Hospital in Napa County forced all patients and staff to relocate, [49] limiting access to health care.

The 2020 California wildfire season, part of the 2020 Western United States wildfire season, was a record-setting year of wildfires in California. By the end of the year, 9,917 fires had burned 4,397,809 acres (1,779,730 ha), more than 4% of the state's roughly 100 million acres of land, making 2020 the largest wildfire season recorded in California's modern history, though roughly equivalent to the pre-1800 levels which averaged around 4.4 million acres yearly and up to 12 million in peak years. California's August Complex fire has been described as the first "gigafire", burning over 1 million acres across seven counties, an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. The fires destroyed over 10,000 structures and cost over $12.079 billion in damages, including over $10 billion in property damage and $2.079 billion in fire suppression costs. The intensity of the fire season has been attributed to a combination of more than a century of poor forest management and higher temperatures resulting from climate change.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">LNU Lightning Complex fires</span> 2020 wildfire in Northern California

The LNU Lightning Complex fires were a large complex of wildfires that burned during the 2020 California wildfire season across much of the Wine Country area of Northern California – Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Solano, and Yolo Counties, from August 17 to October 2, 2020. The complex was composed of numerous lightning-sparked fires, most of which were small. While they ignited separately from each other, the Hennessey Fire eventually grew to merge with the Gamble, Green, Markley, Spanish, and Morgan fires, scorching 192,000 acres (777 km2) by itself, for a total burn area of 363,220 acres (1,470 km2) in the complex. The fire, which burned in the hills surrounding several large cities, such as Fairfield, Napa, and Vacaville, destroyed 1,491 structures and damaged a further 232. In all, six people were killed and another five injured. The LNU Lightning Complex is the sixth-largest wildfire in the recorded history of California.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">August 2020 California lightning wildfires</span> An overview of major wildfires in California during August in the year 2020.

The August 2020 California lightning wildfires were a series of 650 wildfires that ignited across Northern California in mid-August 2020, due to a siege of dry lightning from rare, massive summer thunderstorms, which were caused by an unusual combination of very hot, dry air at the surface, dry fuels, and advection of moisture from the remains of Tropical Storm Fausto northward into the Bay Area. These fires burned between 1,500,000 acres (6,100 km2) to 2,100,000 acres (8,500 km2) within a 2–3 week period. The August 2020 lightning fires included three enormous wildfires: the SCU Lightning Complex, the August Complex, and the LNU Lightning Complex. On September 10, 2020, the August Complex set a record for the single-largest wildfire in the modern history of California, reaching a total area burned of 471,185 acres (1,907 km2). On September 11, the August Complex merged with the Elkhorn Fire, another massive wildfire of 255,039 acres (1,032 km2), turning the August Complex into a monster wildfire of 746,607 acres (3,021 km2).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fawn Fire</span> 2021 wildfire in Northern California

The Fawn Fire was a destructive wildfire near in Shasta County, California, in the fall of 2021. Caused by a suspected act of arson in the evening of September 22, the fire began in mountains to the northeast of Redding and was driven by high winds the following day south and west into wildland-urban interface (WUI) neighborhoods. The fire ultimately destroyed 185 structures and damaged 26. Three firefighters engaged in suppression of the fire were injured, but there were no recorded civilian injuries or fatalities. The fire cost more than $25 million to suppress and burned 8,578 acres before being fully contained on October 2.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mosquito Fire</span> 2022 wildfire in Northern California

The Mosquito Fire was California's largest wildfire of 2022, burning in the American River watershed in Placer and El Dorado counties in Northern California. The fire began on September 6 amid a state-wide heat wave and went on to burn 76,788 acres, primarily in the Tahoe and Eldorado National Forests, while also destroying 78 structures in the rural communities of Michigan Bluff, Foresthill, and Volcanoville. Authorities declared the fire fully contained on October 22 following several storms. The fire suppression effort cost more than $180 million, and at its peak involved more than 3,700 firefighters. The precise cause of the fire is not known, but the potential role of Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) equipment is the subject of multiple civil lawsuits and a Forest Service investigation. The Mosquito Fire was one of 7,477 total wildfires in California in 2022, which burned a combined 331,358 acres (134,096 ha).
