UNLV is cutting work hours for 46 staff members due to the coronavirus pandemic's impact on live events.
In 2020, there were 39,829 forest fires across the United States. Combined, they damaged 4 million acres in total. Ninety percent of fires are caused by people. This means that whether they’re caused by power lines, arson, or cigarettes, a majority of what you hear on the news could have been prevented. Of course, this means the remaining 10 percent of wildfires caused by nature are unavoidable.
