Here\u2019s a look at fire statistics from recent years.<\/p>\n

Seasonal Outlook<\/strong>Northern California:<\/strong> The area is expected to experience a steady warming and drying trend through early summer, with fuel receptiveness increasing as seasonal curing progresses.<\/p>\n

Snow melt and continued spring green-up will help moderate fire spread potential in the near term, but curing herbaceous fuels across lower elevations during April and May will support increased fire activity.<\/p>\n

Southern California:<\/strong> The area is expected to remain warmer and drier than normal through the period, supported by below-normal precipitation, above-normal temperatures, and a shallower-than-normal marine layer limiting inland moisture recovery.<\/p>\n

Monsoonal moisture is expected to develop in mid to late July, slightly later than normal, with near-normal shower and thunderstorm activity anticipated once established.<\/p>

Hardening your home<\/strong>Here are some tips to protect your home:<\/p>\n

Use gravel, pavers or concrete instead of combustible mulch<\/p>\n

Clear dead weeds, grass and debris; regularly check roofs, gutters and outdoor areas<\/p>\n

Keep branches trimmed at least 10 feet away from chimneys and stovepipes<\/p>\n

Minimize combustible items like furniture and planters on decks and patios<\/p>\n

Move firewood and lumber piles away from structures for added safety<\/p>\n

Replace combustible fencing and gates with fire-resistant materials<\/p>\n

Relocate garbage and recycling containers away from structures<\/p>\n

Move boats, RVs, and vehicles away from structures during high fire danger periods<\/p>\n

These are not major changes, but they can help prevent embers from igniting structure fires.<\/p>\n
