LAFAYETTE, Calif. (KGO) -- This week's unusually early Red Flag Warning is just a sign of things to come, according to California's top emergency and fire officials, who gathered for an event in the East Bay to kick of Wildfire Preparedness Week.

With dry warm winds swirling above, California's top fire officials are sending a loud warning, that this upcoming fire season could quickly become the worst on record.

"Every acre in California can and will burn someday," said CAL FIRE Director Thom Porter. "I need not say here in the Bay Area how devastating it is when your hillsides are on fire, some of your communities are on fire, and you're deep in smoke that looks like Armageddon for a week on end."

The new concerns come just as California endured its worst fire season ever -- more than four million acres burned, with six of the most destructive events in the state's history.

As a friend who is a logger said - California should be sued for air pollution violations because they refuse to clean their undergrowth buildup.

This is an alternative religion, an apocalyptic cult

Could be? or Will be? If it doesn’t happen then it’s global warming, if it does, it’s global warming. Will the undergrowth self ignite?

More fear mongering.

Are they going to have people setting forest fires to make their prediction come true?

Because it’s downright uncanny how often they “predict” something and then it happens, except in cases like the hurricane season which really is out of their control.

What has California done in the last year to mitigate the problem?

Look at how the Mexicans have built here for 200+ years: adobe, tile roofs, clear spaces around one’s house.

Redwoods don’t even reproduce unless there is fire, other species too.

The problem is people moving into areas that burn every 50-100 years and then bitching about what happens naturally.

This state can support no more than 5 million people as far as water and safe places to build.

last year a bunch of those fires they believed were intentionally set by antifa sissies with degrees in gender studies, throwing lit objects from thier vehicles driving down the freeway/highway.

Could you imagine having $50K in Student Debt and a Degree in Gender Studies? why wouldn’t you join other sissies in antifa? you have nothing else going for you.

Just burn all the forests down and then you don’t have to worry about it anymore
