Fire season comes early to California

It’s been dry all over California all winter. They said last year’s fire season never ended- they never shut down for the winter.
With seven there’s a strong likelihood there’s an arsonist.
The bad thing that the media does, is when the fire danger is the worst, they make a big announcement for everyone to be careful.
Of course the arsonist hears this as: “Gentlemen, take your marks, get read, set...”
There are only two seasons in southern California, fire and mud. Mud season passed and now it is fire season.
Dry and hot. Wierd and unusual hot. Many costal areas in the 90’s, some over 100 today. This is crazy.
Don’t think I have an answer for your question but have a link for nationwide scanner (police and fire) that was posted by another FReeper (is not my link but looks to be a good link) that breaks down into counties in the San Diego area. Can retrieve the link if would like to have it and you think the link would be useful. Was able to access for free but there was a lot of run-over talkover in communications.
Santa Ana condition. Hot, dry winds that are caused by compression of air as it goes through mountain passes and sweeps to the coast, getting warmer as it goes. Not really winds blowing from the desert. I experienced 109F once in San Diego during one of these.
Several SD tv stations have live feeds
We’re having Santa Ana winds. Those are winds that come from the desert areas - thus hot - of nearby states. The winds blow east to west. Crazy-making for some folks.
The report I heard tonight is that it is up to 9 fires. That can’t be just coincidence. Also, the fires are usually in the hillsides but some of the fires seems to be in flat areas not far from the ocean in very populated suburban settings.
