Metallica<\/a> and its All Within My Hands Foundation will donate $100,000 to aid wildfire relief efforts in Northern and Southern California.<\/p>\n

The band announced the donation on Twitter, noting<\/a> that $50,000 would go to the Sonoma County Resilience Fund and $50,000 to the Wildfire Relief Fund. Metallica also encouraged fans<\/a> to contribute money, non-perishable food, clothing and other supplies to victims, or to volunteer or provide temporary housing for those in need.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, for the third year in a row, communities we have called home throughout the state of California are again experiencing the tragedy left in the wake of wildfires,\u201d Metallica wrote<\/a>, adding: \u201cBoth organizations are dedicated to long-term recovery efforts, helping residents resume normal lives as they get back on their feet after the devastation of these firestorms.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to NPR<\/a>, the most recent California fires \u2014 the Kincade Fire in Northern California and the Maria Fire in Southern California \u2014 are almost fully contained, although the destruction they\u2019ve caused has been extensive. The Kincade Fire burned for 11 days and consumed an area of almost 78,000 acres \u2014 almost twice as big as San Francisco \u2014 destroying 374 buildings, 174 of which were residential, and forcing more than 180,000 people from their homes. The Maria Fire, meanwhile, broke out last Thursday and has burned more than 9,400 acres.<\/p>\n

The Kincade and Maria Fires mark the third<\/a> straight<\/a> year of intense wildfires in California, a problem that scientists have claimed will only get worse<\/a> if climate change continues to go unchecked<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, in response to the most recent fires, President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold<\/a> aid from California, claiming Governor Gavin Newsom hasn\u2019t done enough to contain the blazes. Trump\u2019s argument centers around a bogus demand that Newsom \u201cclean\u201d the forest floors, inaccurately claiming that that\u2019s how Finland prevents forest fires. In response, Newsom said, \u201cYou don\u2019t believe in climate change. You are excused from this conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n
