Wildfire Season

According to CAL FIRE, the fire season in California and across the West is starting earlier and ending later each year. Warmer spring and summer temperatures, reduced snowpack, and earlier spring snowmelt create longer dry seasons that increase moisture stress on vegetation and make forests more susceptible to wildfire.
