Seasonal Outlook and Preparedness
Despite the uptick in fire incidents, CAL FIRE is transitioning to Winter Preparedness staffing levels as seasonal conditions shift. Forecasts indicate a potential decrease in fire activity due to cooler, moist conditions expected over the coming months. However, Southern California may still face elevated fire risks, particularly with the possibility of increased offshore winds.
CAL FIRE emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant and prepared for any fire-related emergencies. Residents are encouraged to have an evacuation plan in place and stay informed through local emergency broadcasts and CAL FIRE updates.
As the situation develops, CAL FIRE remains committed to providing accurate information and resources to assist those impacted by the fires.
