It's all dependent on the weather. It can happen at any time of the year, and we're just realizing that now. |
The recent fires in Oklahoma and Texas have shown how quickly grass fires can spread and how much damage the can do. We don't want to have a situation like that here. |
We have fire effects monitors out here with each unit that are studying the flame lengths and the topography and the wind - all the weather conditions. We have a list of 15 things that we wanted to pay more attention to or do differently this year. |
We're expecting a higher-than-average fire season, especially below 8,000 feet. |
We're not looking to cause any more hardship for these people. We know they already suffered a terrible loss. |
What happened was the weather changed dramatically. |
