Even with a history of recent wildfires, a Napa County tax measure meant to raise money for fire prevention efforts failed to get enough votes at the polls.

Napa County has suffered two massive wildfires in recent years--the Atlas Fire in 2017 and the Glass Fire in 2020. But the measure, known as Measure L, just failed by nearly 9%.

The county is disappointed, and a little surprised, that Measure L was defeated. And now, they're going to have to look elsewhere for funding for the ambitious fire prevention plans that are already underway.
