We’re hitting these fires very hard and heavy from the air. Local firefighters are starting to call in air resources very early to get on top of these fires before they get out of hand.

With the gusty winds, low humidity and all the hard freezes lately, it’s created an abundant amount of dry, dead fuels. Our big concern is that (debris) fires are going to get away from people...

You can also install a fire-resistant roof, less flammable landscaping and noncombustible exterior siding.

We don’t expect this current drought situation to be over until about June when we experience the normal summer rain showers.
