...Los Angeles is experiencing its driest year on record...The last time it was remotely this dry was 1924, when 2.5 inches of rain had fallen...Right now, Los Angeles' rainfall is more than 9 inches below normal.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
