Fire season is here again as wildfires pick up throughout California. Thousands of firefighters are continuing a battle to rein in major blazes that ignited late last week or over the weekend, including two near Santa Barbara and one near Oroville in Butte County.

Seems like just yesterday there were floods. After a record-busting wet winter that increased vegetation, crews are expecting a severe fire season.
