Daniel Berlant at Calfire recalls few comparable fire seasons.

“We have not seen these type of conditions in decades. The closest comparison in the mid 1970’s which were devastating years for wildfires. That’s why we are putting so much emphasis on increasing our staffing early and getting homeowners prepared so much earlier in the year.”

Calfire inspectors are fanning out to check on homes that do not have the 100 feet of defensible space around them.
