It's been three years since the Glass Fire tore through Northern California. What started in late September 2020 as a relatively small brush fire quickly grew and then split into two wildfires that scorched thousands of acres in Napa and Sonoma Counties. It took more than three weeks to fully contain the blaze. By that time, the Glass Fire had consumed close to 68,000 acres.
