Are their vacation homes and the places they like to spend time with their families away from the office close to the wildfires?

I don't understand. Do you mean to say they are ok with half of the state burning down as long as their offices are unaffected?

Air quality will affect the output of their workforce. They can probably measure it in dollars.

Better offense is needed. Yes it's good to understand fire dynamics but not very useful when nothing can be done about it.

I was hoping we'd figure out a better way by now than throwing more firefighting humans at the problem.
