Again, unfortunately, the American state of California suffers from fires that spread from the north to the south west coast of the United States, causing evacuations and much destruction. In the most recent cases, Sonoma County, San Diego and Los Angeles airlines are the most affected.
Combined with the dry weather that affects California, the strong winds contribute to the fires increasing in proportion and becoming uncontrollable. California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared an emergency statewide.
The actor and former state governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, also needed to leave his home in northwest LA after the Getty fire broke out.
We evacuated safely at 3:30 this morning. If you are in an evacuation zone, don’t screw around. Get out. Right now I am grateful for the best firefighters in the world, the true action heroes who charge into the danger to protect their fellow Californians. #GettyFire

As usual in cases of environmental and natural disasters – such as the fires that affected the Amazon region last August -, Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, announced that the company donate to help fight fires:
Our hearts are with those affected by the wildfires across California, including members of our Apple family. Thank you to the first responders who are working tirelessly to control the fires. Apple will be donating to relief efforts. To everyone in harm’s way, please stay safe.

As we said, this positioning of Apple is not unprecedented: the company also donated to efforts to combat similar disasters that occurred in 2017 and last year, when other major fires hit the home state of Apple.
