This time of year in California is known for Santa Ana and other named winds, and authorities worry that high winds might spark a blaze along power lines. KQED's Saul Gonzalez talked about the danger of wind and fire in California with Craig Clements. He directs San Jose State’s Fire Weather Research Laboratory.
