There are areas of California that burn year after year. True, a fire through heavy timber will change the landscape for sometime and a fire the following year will be much different, but it happens.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time deployed to Wildfires around California. The speed of an established fire given certain weather, fuels and topography is difficult to explain to someone who has never experienced it. The sound and speed can be like a freight train. The size can quickly overwhelm your ability to process…

The Butte and Lake fires will not connect. You either understand very little about California or very little about Wildfire.
