The lack of precipitation across the state has led to one of the dri- est winters on record. According to DWR the statewide water con- tent is at 19 percent of normal. Despite the fact that many areas of the state are experiencing cooler temperatures, the drier than normal conditions, coupled with wind events and low humidity, have frequently increased the fire danger over the past month. Last month CalFire crews responded to an increased number of wildfires for a typical December. "Fire activity in northern Cali- fornia during winter is very rare, where snow covered mountains and rain soaked hillsides typical- ly keep the fire danger relatively low," said Chief Ken Pimlott, CalFire director. "We will be monitoring the rain levels over the next couple months, as it will be an indicator of the type of fire activity spring and summer will bring." In response to the above nor- mal fire activity, CalFire has been able to increase its staffing using its 4,700 permanent employees with the help of CalFire inmate fire crews. In many areas CalFire has can- celled burn days or even banned debris burning. The public is asked to be extra cautious due to the dry conditions, especially on windy days.
