Fire departments across the Bay Area say the record-setting wet weather at the beginning of the year is not a reason to take it easy this fire season.
In some ways, all that rain will create more work for residents to protect their homes from fire danger later this year.
The wet start to 2023 does not give him any comfort about the steps he will need to take this spring. "The first thing we're looking at is what's closest to the home," he told KPIX while visiting Lehrer's home."We're looking at the roof line. This resident here has trimmed this stuff away from the roof line. That is very crucial in creating that defensible safe."
Lowenthal said they will likely declare the start of fire season in the beginning of June. Warmer weather happening this week will factor into that decision. Inspections of properties will begin the first and second week of June.
