00:00You know it just sounds like listening to to Governor Gavin Newsom that it's no
00:06longer fire season he says it's fire year I mean it suggests that you're
00:11going to be seeing more of these kinds of fires does that sound right to you?
00:16You know we've we don't get a lot of precipitation here you know we've over
00:21this winter we've had less than a half an inch of rain in Southern California
00:25so that me and that's that's year-on-year here we have been in a
00:30drought for a very long time and while one season we might get more rain that
00:34just the vegetation grows and then it dries out so we now have more brush to
00:39burn it's you know it our society now we have all of these beautiful hills people
00:46want to build their homes and so we have homes you know right inside all of these
00:50hills and the vegetation and it results in this sad situation when the winds are
00:57so strong that it just the fire runs and we just can't stop it from the ground
01:02and unfortunately you know there are a lot of homes that are being lost.
