California Wildfires: Fire season is just beginning

Multiple wildfires continue to blaze in northern California. Cal fire is saying this is just the beginning of wildfire season. I spoke with CAL fire about the resources needed to fight the fire happening right now from the air and on the ground. Cal fire continuing to battle multiple blazes across northern California and several in our region. The historic park fire in Butte and Tehama County is the fourth largest in the state's history, pulling resources from across the state fire does a really good job of sharing resources, make sure that the appropriate resources get outdated to the fires that are, you know, in most need and the appropriate resources get sent there. All the teams that are on those fires work together to make sure that if they have resources that you know, can be spared, they do cheer arm with each other. That's Dave Lochner currently on the Crozier fire in El Dorado County. We had a really good night fire crews were able to get some really good work done last night. We got some containment lights put in the fire actually cooperated for once and one of our biggest problems has been, it's been jumping our lines, spotting over our lines. And last night, we had a lot of success but that did not happen. Take a look at this map. It shows all the fires in the state, the Silver fire. So in El Dorado County is 95% contained Saturday night. Cal fire announcing the blue fire in Solano County 100% contained. But cal fire knows this is just the beginning. Fatigue's definitely affecting people. We've seen it over the last few years with the really active fire seasons and we are not done with this one. Firefighters. They signed up, they know what they're getting into and they're all ready to go and they're ready for a few more months of this. Cal fire says the biggest thing that we can all do to help is to check the defensible space around your property, clearing any debris that could catch fire near your home.
