2. California’s state fire chief, Ken Pimlott, said: “We can’t recall when we have seen this level of fire activity early in this year. This is usually the time of year when much of the state is greening up.”
“We haven’t even got into the months that historically are the worst in California – late August, September and October – so that’s a big red flag right there.”

The state fire agency for years had worked to put out nearly all fires, about 95 percent, before they spread beyond 10 acres. That goal may now have to slip, Pimlott acknowledged.
“As conditions dry out and fire conditions become more extreme that goal can be challenging,” said Pimlott. Crews may just encounter too many fires at once. But the agency hopes that stockpiling water and protecting homes would give fire crew a head start.
“We are always going to have the guys out there on helicopters and we are going to have crews with chain saws, but we have to give them a fighting chance,” Pimlott said.
