California wildfires

Some of you may have heard about the recent wildfires in California on the news. Capt. Mike of the Firefighter blog has been writing about these fires. He has labels on his blog, so to make it easier for you, I used his label to provide you with what I hope is an easy to use link to his writings about Santa Ana winds and wildfires, including the recent wildfires in CA. This will take at least a couple of minutes to load, perhaps longer if you have a slower internet connection.

Briefly, as I understand it, Santa Ana winds can make wildfires in CA worse. I believe that this time of year, early fall, is (one?) of the seasons for Santa Ana winds. Dry conditions and Santa Ana can lead to deadly wildfires, ones that are difficult to fight. Sometime in the coming days, I'll try to find some specific information on the web talking about the relationship between Santa Ana winds and wildfires for you. In the meantime, take a look at this wikipedia link.

I am going to work on going back and putting labels in my blog, at least going back for the last three months in hopes that it will make easier to follow the topics that I am writing about.
