There have been a spat of wildfires in recent days.  But overall California is having a very good year.  There have been the same number of fires as previous years but this year around 46,000 acres have burned compared with somewhere around 630,000 in 2018 and the average acres burned in past 5 years is around 350,000. https://www.fire.ca.gov/stats-events/ The drought ended last year making fires easier to put out.  Trump threatened to withhold aid money if California didnt control the problem better.
