It has been quite an intense season this year as wildfires have been affecting multiple areas of the state. Over 5,000 firemen have been dispatched to handle the recent fires and more may be expected. With record-high temperatures and strong wind, this was a recipe that eventually leads to the spread of these fires. These sporadic fires had them moving to several parts of the state at once. The vegetation that had been produced from the previous rainy Winter is now becoming very dry and is only helping these fires spread.
