"Although the 2019 fire season had been relatively quiet in California through mid-September as compared to past years, October through December is still expected to have the greatest fire potential as the Santa Ana winds pick up."

Our two worst fires in San Diego (Witch and Cedar Fires) occurred at this time in Oct. Both closed schools for a week and burned thousands of homes in 2003 and 2007.

It was 92° outside my back door yesterday and humidity was 36%. Fortunately it wasn't windy when a small fire started near downtown. I smelled smoke and got ready, just in case but they knocked it down quickly.
