Dry Conditions Lead to Increased Fire Activity

In just the first three weeks of January, CAL FIRE has already responded to a significant increase in wildfires this winter due to the extremely dry conditions. As a result, CAL FIRE officials are reminding residents to ensure they are maintaining 100 feet of Defensible Space; a reminder that comes several months earlier than normal.

Wow on the dust devil during a prescribed burn and there wasn't much they could do.

The soundtrack sure seemed a little overwhelming in my opinion.

The music was AWFUL. Thank god for the mute button.
