"We have it under control, but we also have backup plans, so in case something were to jump our lines,"
"... [We have] two, three, four backup plans, so the neighbors should feel really safe."
"Where it's a calm, mild day and we're not sending a lot of smoke into crowded areas, those are the days we're able to burn,"
"The weather's been a bit of a challenge just because it has to be a high relative humidity, low wind, non-windy day and the temperatures can't be high and elevated like we saw in Southern California."
Cal Fire and other agencies plan to increase prescribed burns across California to reduce fuel loads and reinforce ecosystem recovery. Prescribed fires are intentionally ignited in favorable weather to lower wildfire risk and manage vegetation, often near wildland-urban boundaries such as Campo. Crews choose peak season October through February for higher humidity, calmer winds and cooler temperatures. Planned burns can produce visible smoke that may concern residents, but crews maintain multiple contingency plans and safety measures to contain fires. Recent burns have been limited by weather conditions, though many projects are scheduled and awaiting appropriate burn days.
