From the Alaskan wilderness to the plains of Texas to countless outbreaks across California, the United States is facing a record number of wildfires in 2022. With more than 70 large-scale blazes roaring across the country right now, the outlook of a hot and dry August has everyone looking for answers.

Along the coast of Southern California lies the city of Carlsbad. Wildfire experts say there is a 60-percent chance of the nearly 20,000 properties in the San Diego County town being impacted by these natural infernos over the next thirty years.

Brightway, The Crumbaker Agency insurance office represents homeowners in Carlsbad and other neighboring counties. Drought conditions and record temperatures each year have their office working tirelessly to find ways to help protect their clients from the outbreaks.

“Preparing your family and your property in the event of a wildfire is becoming a way of life in Southern California,” Kyle Crumbaker, Vice President of Brightway, The Crumbaker Agency said. “Part of protecting your home from wildfires is educating yourself in the insurance process.”

Crumbaker and his team work with customers seven days a week helping find the best possible ways to cover their property with the threat of wildfires always looming in their region. However, there are also other measures property owners across the nation can take to help keep their homes and business as safe as possible as new wildfires continue to spark every day.

More than 8,300 personnel across 12 states are fighting these massive fires which are ravaging 18 acres of land every minute in the United States. Wildfires of all sizes have destroyed nearly 5.7 million acres this year to date. The average wildfire in 2022 has destroyed approximately 144 acres. As of July 29, there have been reports of 38,855 wildfires across the United States.
