"cal fire" Discussed on KCRW
"30, California saw a record setting fire season in 2020. But this year the pace of fires is already ahead of last year's devastating season. KCRW's Matt Dillon has a look at the numbers. Wildfires in California scorched more than 6600 Square miles last year. Cording to Cal fire just over 9900 incidents were responsible for burning all of that land. Well, here we are in 2021 between January 1st in the fourth of July fires of black and just about 115 Square Miles at this point last year, a little over 48 Square Miles had burned. Not only has more land been charged so far this year, but the number of fires is also up. So far California has seen around 4600 wildfires this year last summer on the Fourth of July, the state had logged more than 3800 blazes. Scorching hot temperatures, severe drought conditions and disappointing winter precipitation of all contributed to the escalating pace of fires California is experiencing that is KCRW's Matt Dillon reporting. Group of current and former fire experts is pushing back against proposed reforms to California's fire safety regulations. In a letter to the state's Board of Forestry and Fire Protection 18 wildfire professionals from federal, state and local agencies warned changes to existing wild fire safety standards will weaken protections for first responders. 2.2 proposals to allow roads to be six FT. Narrower, narrower than currently required, while also loosening rules for dead end roads that can prove deadly during evacuations. Douglas is a retired U. S. Forest service official. Sets up a situation trying to get fire equipment to a fire and people evacuating and they couldn't pass one another on the road. Well, that's unconscionable. But Tracy Ryan of our CRC, which represents rural county says Without appropriate regulations, affordable housing development will be stifled. It takes swaths of these rural areas out of, you know commission to build on to increase your business to rebuild. Lease and his firefighter colleagues say weakening the rules even to spur more affordable housing would be dangerous. The state says it's continuing to take public comment on the matter. Covid 19 cases are ticking up in California, and health officials are blaming the highly infectious delta variant of the virus. The most recent data from the state's public Health department shows that in June it became the most prevalent viral strain in the state governor, Newsom says that is largely due to the number of unvaccinated people. If you've been hesitant. Just consider the fact that the vast majority of folks overwhelming majority of folks almost without exception, everybody that's getting hospitalized or people have lost their lives. I've been hospitalized, lost their lives because they haven't been vaccinated.
