With wind and warm temperatures, a red flag warning continues for parts of Solano County where conditions on the ground are pointing towards a long, dangerous fire season.
"Yep, Red Flag," said Fairfield Fire Marshal Steven Conti."There's just too much dry vegetation with the drought, and moisture levels. I could go on and on."
Even greater risk is growing in the land itself as California drifts deeper into a dry period that's just beginning to come into focus. "Our concern is the heavier fuels, what we refer to as the thousand-hour fuels," Santa Rosa Fire Marshal Paul Lowenthal said at the time."Heavy timber, brush, those have not received nearly enough moisture. The levels those are currently at are levels they should not be at for this time of year."
