Santa Rosa Fire Department Declares the Official Start of Wildfire Season in Santa Rosa
The City of Santa Rosa Fire Department officially declares Monday, June 10, 2024, as the start of this year’s wildfire season in Santa Rosa. Significant rainfall this year has led to significant growth of seasonal grasses and vegetation. Following the recent warm dry weather and increase in fire activity, the declaration is necessary to help ensure the community is better prepared for this wildfire season. Many residents have already taken proactive measures this season, including the abatement of dry seasonal grasses and other vegetation management measures. Regrowth is likely, given the rainfall this year, plans should be made to address any regrowth which will likely create a fire hazard later this season. READ MORE
