There's been a significant increase in the number of wildfires this year in California. But, as Ed Joyce reports from Sacramento, the size of the fires has been relatively small.
Four years of drought and record warm temperatures have created dangerous wildfire conditions in California.
And, it's been a busy year for firefighters.
Berlant: "Already this year we've responded to well over 1200 more fires than we would in an average year for the same time period."
Daniel Berlant is with Cal Fire. He says additional staffing has helped keep the majority of the fires from becoming much larger.
Berlant: "A lot of that has to do with additional resources that we have because of the drought as well as some weather that's been very finicky this past several months, as far as triple digits, and then rainfall, triple digits and then rainfall."
Berlant says that weather pattern has brought lightning too, which started more wildfires.
