Pilot Fire in California

Spanning almost 8,000 acres, the Pilot Fire broke out on August 7, 2016 in San Bernadino County in Southern California.

This is just one of many fires that have spread throughout California this summer, primarily due to the prolonged drought that has caused a massive bark beetle infestation, resulting in more than 66 million dead trees and an elevated fire risk.
