An estimated 1.2 billion U.S. dollars was spent to mitigate wildfires in California in the fiscal years ending June 30, 2022. This would constitute a decrease compared to the previous year, but still significantly above wildfire suppression costs in the years between 2012 and 2020. Spending on wildfire suppression increased significantly as forest and wildland fires have grown in scale and intensity.
