A controlled burn in the Benbow area got out of control this morning, leading to a wildfire blaze that Calfire was able to contain to a quarter of an acre.
The agency took to Twitter to issue a warning. Three years of drought, plus the expected hotter than usual summer — though what is usual, anymore? — add up to the likelihood of a very active fire season to come.
Burn escape in Benbow contained at 1/4 acre. Don’t expect normal burn conditions this year. pic.twitter.com/S1TnEDmmGQ
