They also said that because people had been more diligent in clearing around their homes that it seems to be helping curb the fire.
There was a picture in the L.A. Times today of a nice house surrounded by green lawn in Box Canyon, and the landscape was burned to a crisp all the way around it, clear up to the edges of the property. Amazing that the house was spared.
Yeah, all that brush is bigger because of the rain, but it still gets dried out come fall. But maybe we'll get some rain pretty soon, which would lessen the chances of more fire. I've seen years where they predicted terrible brushfires, and because we got early rain it never happened.
