Good morning, Redwood City!
Fighting fire
Long, hot, fast-moving wildfires are the now the norm in California. This year, our state has already seen a total of 5,184 blazes and an estimated 181,252 acres burned—and the numbers are quickly growing. With wildfire season just beginning, local firefighters are being dispatched around the state, traveling hundreds of miles from their homes to join the effort.
I spoke with Captain Brian Steach of the Redwood City Fire Department who led a four-person crew for a week at the Oak Fire in Mariposa County. Read about their experience—and see some incredible photos—here.
Much more to come…stay tuned.
Happy Monday!
