EMPATHY / HUMAN/ PLANT / WILDFIRES
Wildfires are unplanned, uncontrolled fires in natural vegetation, largely driven by human activity (nearly 85% of US cases) or lightning. They are becoming more frequent and severe, with longer seasons due to climate change. These events destroy ecosystems and properties, release massive carbon emissions, and severely degrade air quality, impacting public health globally.
RELIK A-Z: Wildfire Cupid — Forest Fire Series
What they didn’t teach you in history class. The Wildfire Cupid collection is an educational trading card series documenting the real, devastating, and insufficiently remembered history of North America’s most catastrophic wildfires — told without looking away.
Each card pairs original ethereal cupid artwork with documented fact: the 1933 Griffith Park Fire, the Great Chicago Fire, the Great Fire of 1910, the Great Fires of 1947, the Great Hinckley Fire, the 1825 Miramichi Fire, the 1/2025 Southern California Wildfires, the Thumb Fire, and the Yarnell Hill Fire. These are the blazes that erased towns, claimed hundreds of lives, and reshaped how America thinks about land, climate, and survival — named, documented, and given the weight they deserve.
This is not a cautionary tale. It is a reckoning.
Part of the RELIK A-Z Knowledge Card system, each card carries point values, empathy ratings, and category tags connecting to the larger RELIK Human / Plant universe.
