To put things in perspective:
Today CA's biggest wildfire season surpassed 4 million acres burned, more than double the state’s previous record.
Before this year, 2018 was California’s biggest year for wildfires, w more than 1.8 million acres burned. (via LA Times)

i read somewhere that ca would need to burn 20M acres before its backlog of fire suppression would be more evened out... if you're interested i can try to dig it up

I think I’ll just move out if next year is worse

Read discussion about that (can't remember ref atm) but my takeaway is that enough brush grows back in 2 years to be a fire hazard again. However fires like CreekFire (near where I currently live) were super intense mainly bc of heavy fuel like oaks killed by bark beetle.
