Wildland Firefighters Aided by Papa John's Pizza Promotion

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This summer, news reports were filled with stories and photos of wildfires in the West, including in California, Washington and Oregon, and the devastation caused by these blazes.

In addition to endangering lives, homes, property and pets in the path of wildfire, these infernos also produced air quality issues for these regions and beyond. According to an article in the New York Times, summer wildfires generated plumes of smoke that spread across large regions of the country.

In early September, the air quality in the Pacific Northwest was temporarily the worst of any air quality being observed in the world. This was according to Berkeley Earth, an organization that monitors the climate. Both Washington and California declared states of emergency as skies browned and air filled with smoke. Regions of Oregon saw snowing ash.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
