The labor group is seeking higher wages and increased benefits for grocery store employees, among other concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have been in round-the-clock negotiations since yesterday morning and continuing through the day. There’s been some progress, but not enough as it stands,” Jim Araby, a spokesperson for UFCW Local 5 in Hayward, said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While UFCW and Safeway leaders are still at the bargaining table alongside a federal mediator, Araby is skeptical they will be able to reach an agreement and have workers vote on it before the union’s deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 200 Safeway stores could be blocked by picket lines if a strike occurs, Araby said, adding that 95% of union members voted to approve the strike earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers have been unable to keep up with exorbitant cost-of-living increases in the Bay Area, and health care costs have also gone up for the union’s members, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12049786\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12049786\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A tractor trailer exits Safeway’s Northern California Distribution Center in Tracy, on Jan. 17, 2025. \u003ccite>(David M.

While union members negotiate for more equitable wages, Safeway plans on paying their temporary replacements $27 per hour — more than most of its workers make, Araby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most members feel like it was a massive slap in the face,” he said. “It’s definitely influenced our members to want to go out on strike. … It’s a typical tactic by employers to try to bring up doubt among the rank and file.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been a busy few months for labor groups in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early July, more than 2,000 workers across the country went on strike after months of labor negotiations with waste management company \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12048733/trash-is-still-piling-up-as-republic-services-workers-strike-heres-what-to-know\">Republic Services\u003c/a> hit a standstill. A tentative agreement was reached between the parties last week, after Bay Area residents and officials issued complaints about trash piling up on sidewalks and in driveways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Araby, the increase in labor action speaks to workers’ increased frustrations about low wages, poor benefits and other labor conditions. The disparity between employers and their workers is growing, and people are fed up with wealthy corporations not treating their employees fairly, he said, adding that whether workers decide to keep going is up to companies like Safeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re interested in bringing forth a proposal that our members will be able to vote for. We want to avoid a work stoppage,” he said. “But our members have been clear to us that they’re ready to take one if the deal is not good enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The labor group is seeking higher wages and increased benefits for grocery store employees, among other concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have been in round-the-clock negotiations since yesterday morning and continuing through the day. There’s been some progress, but not enough as it stands,” Jim Araby, a spokesperson for UFCW Local 5 in Hayward, said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While UFCW and Safeway leaders are still at the bargaining table alongside a federal mediator, Araby is skeptical they will be able to reach an agreement and have workers vote on it before the union’s deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 200 Safeway stores could be blocked by picket lines if a strike occurs, Araby said, adding that 95% of union members voted to approve the strike earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Workers have been unable to keep up with exorbitant cost-of-living increases in the Bay Area, and health care costs have also gone up for the union’s members, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12049786\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12049786\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/20250117_Safeway-Injuries_DMB_00251_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A tractor trailer exits Safeway’s Northern California Distribution Center in Tracy, on Jan. 17, 2025. \u003ccite>(David M.

While union members negotiate for more equitable wages, Safeway plans on paying their temporary replacements $27 per hour — more than most of its workers make, Araby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most members feel like it was a massive slap in the face,” he said. “It’s definitely influenced our members to want to go out on strike. … It’s a typical tactic by employers to try to bring up doubt among the rank and file.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been a busy few months for labor groups in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early July, more than 2,000 workers across the country went on strike after months of labor negotiations with waste management company \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12048733/trash-is-still-piling-up-as-republic-services-workers-strike-heres-what-to-know\">Republic Services\u003c/a> hit a standstill. A tentative agreement was reached between the parties last week, after Bay Area residents and officials issued complaints about trash piling up on sidewalks and in driveways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Araby, the increase in labor action speaks to workers’ increased frustrations about low wages, poor benefits and other labor conditions. The disparity between employers and their workers is growing, and people are fed up with wealthy corporations not treating their employees fairly, he said, adding that whether workers decide to keep going is up to companies like Safeway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re interested in bringing forth a proposal that our members will be able to vote for.

Residents reported that around 200 people were stopped, searched or detained, the lawsuit said. Border Patrol officials said in a statement that agents made 78 arrests during the sweep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12028728 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/GettyImages-1221069312-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the lawsuit, attorneys estimated that at least 40 people who were arrested were deported to Mexico after being coerced into agreeing to voluntary departure, a form of expulsion that involves waiving one’s right to an immigration hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People who agree to voluntary departure are also prohibited from reentering the United States, even if they would otherwise have a legal basis to do so, for at least three years and up to 10 years if they had been in the country for more than a year, Bernwanger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re challenging is Border Patrol’s attempt to push people through this process of banishment without telling them what would happen to them if they accepted it,” Bernwanger told KQED. “What we’re challenging is Border Patrol’s absolute failure to explain people’s rights and explain the consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, Mungia Esquivel, reported being forcibly stopped by immigration officers outside a Home Depot in Bakersfield on Jan. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the lawsuit, officers arrested Esquivel when he tried to avoid their questioning and took him away without due cause or explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esquivel, who has lived in Bakersfield for over 10 years, was then taken to El Centro Station, a Border Patrol facility over 300 miles away at the U.S.-Mexico border. There, he was forced to stay in poor conditions and made to sign documents that he was not permitted to see by Border Patrol agents, attorneys said. Esquivel was released three days after his arrest, but he still feels traumatized by his experience, the lawsuit reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of the other plaintiffs were forced to accept voluntary departure after Border Patrol agents arrested them during the raids, according to the lawsuit. Bernwanger said two of them are still “stranded” in Mexico, and part of the lawsuit is an effort to bring them back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their lives have been thrown into crisis as the result of Border Patrol’s illegal actions,” Bernwanger said. “This raid was not legal the way the Border Patrol ran it. … It absolutely disrupted people’s lives, and we are working through the legal process to try to make them whole again — but there’s really no way to do that because the disruption to their lives and their families has been so profound.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The houses and surrounding vegetation are fuels in communities that were not designed for fire resilience when they were planned decades ago.[aside postID=science_1965575 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/102523-Paradise-Rebuild-AP-CM-02-copy.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s vegetation all around homes and trees overlapping, and [residents] love the beauty and the look of that,” said Michael Gollner, a researcher and fire expert at UC Berkeley. “But when a fire comes through, it has a clear path to just keep propagating through the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what would have helped?

For example, the state has taken steps to ramp up prescribed fire, but there have not been many burns next to communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been more investment in fuels management crews, but less investment in enforcing tough, defensible space codes, like having a five-foot buffer of non-combustible material around a house, what experts call “Zone 0.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When an area rebuilds after a fire, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/building-standards/state-housing-law/wildland-urban-interface/docs/2010-part-2-cbc-ch7a.pdf\">adopting stringent requirements \u003c/a>— such as using fire-resistant materials and requiring 30 feet between buildings — helps neighborhoods prepare for the next fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s needed is community support for fire resilience. Some communities oppose vegetation removal or defensible space inspections or prescribed fire near homes. Some areas that have rebuilt chose to waive certain requirements, including parts of Santa Rosa that burned in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12021207\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12021207\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/240109-CAWindStorm-030.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/240109-CAWindStorm-030.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/240109-CAWindStorm-030-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/240109-CAWindStorm-030-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/240109-CAWindStorm-030-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/240109-CAWindStorm-030-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/240109-CAWindStorm-030-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Altadena resident Herb Wilson and his wife, Loyda Wilson, survey their home that was destroyed in the Eaton Fire northeast of Los Angeles on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025.

For example, the state has taken steps to ramp up prescribed fire, but there have not been many burns next to communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been more investment in fuels management crews, but less investment in enforcing tough, defensible space codes, like having a five-foot buffer of non-combustible material around a house, what experts call “Zone 0.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When an area rebuilds after a fire, \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/building-standards/state-housing-law/wildland-urban-interface/docs/2010-part-2-cbc-ch7a.pdf\">adopting stringent requirements \u003c/a>— such as using fire-resistant materials and requiring 30 feet between buildings — helps neighborhoods prepare for the next fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s needed is community support for fire resilience.

Evacuation orders expanded to include communities in eastern Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge and northern Monrovia. In the San Fernando Valley, the Hurst Fire has burned nearly 1,000 acres near the suburban community of Sylmar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the Pacific Palisades, the Palisades fire has consumed over 11,000 acres, moving westward along the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of cars were abandoned along Palisades Drive and Sunset Boulevard as people fled on foot because of the traffic jam. Responders with the Los Angeles County Fire Department were seen pushing cars aside with a bulldozer in order to create a path for emergency vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kenichi Haskett, a section chief of L.A. County Fire in Palisades, described navigating the Palisades as similar to some of the hillier neighborhoods in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a foothills community where we had to evacuate 25,000 people who all jammed into the road together and created a bottleneck,” Haskett said. “Many left their cars and ran or walked away, which is not a bad idea, but it left a traffic jam and was difficult for our firefighters to get out.”[aside postID=news_12020835 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/npr.brightspotcdn-copy-20-scaled.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, encountering \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11743347/california-towns-at-risk-from-fires-often-have-few-ways-out\">gridlocked roads\u003c/a> is not uncommon during emergency evacuations in California, especially in cities with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1946668/data-pinpoints-14-california-communities-with-most-limited-emergency-escape-routes\">limited evacuation points\u003c/a>. During the catastrophic Camp Fire in 2019, over 25,000 Paradise residents attempted to evacuate the area only to get caught in a massive traffic jam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to wildfire evacuations expert Tom Cova, many towns only have one or two evacuation routes that residents can use to leave during an emergency. The problem occurs when thousands of people attempt to evacuate at the same time, leading to road congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like being at a concert, the density of these communities, and if you leave early, you just stand up and walk out,” Cova, a professor of geography at the University of Utah, said. “But if you delay your departure, if you’re spending a lot of time gathering things and maybe hesitating whether or not you’re at risk, then you’ll find yourself in the midst of the main travel pull.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cova said many of the cities and towns being impacted by these fires grow organically with little consideration for how roads would need to operate during emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, gridlock is not new to Los Angeles,” said Paul Friedman, chief technical officer of Streetlight Data, a San Francisco-based traffic analytics company. “Due to urban sprawl, poor urban planning, poor zoning laws, houses are very spread out and people need more road capacity per person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued: “If you just have one hour to get everybody out, you’re going to have problems. These roads are not designed to empty a community in one hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1946668/data-pinpoints-14-california-communities-with-most-limited-emergency-escape-routes\">2019 study published\u003c/a> by Streetlight Data identified 100 communities in the country that have the fewest evacuation routes, and California had 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are only a few things city officials can do to avoid issues of gridlock and congestion during emergencies, Friedman said. The first would be to issue evacuation and emergency warnings earlier in order to give residents more time to leave. The second would be to transition more two-way roads into one-way roads. The California Highway Patrol did a similar thing in Santa Cruz after the CZU Lightning Complex fires in 2020, Friedman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evacuation might be the gravest danger associated with wildfires, according to Scott Stephens, a professor of fire science at UC Berkeley. Stephens said that while evacuating an area may sometimes be necessary, doing so can leave people exposed to smoke and fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All it takes is one accident, a smoky road or maybe a power line down, and essentially, you’ve just blocked that evacuation route,” Stephens said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020989\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12020989\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Megan Mantia, left, and her boyfriend Thomas, who only gave his first, return to Mantia’s fire-damaged home after the Eaton Fire swept through on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025, in Altadena, Calif. \u003ccite>(Ethan Swope/AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, for people in L.A.

During the catastrophic Camp Fire in 2019, over 25,000 Paradise residents attempted to evacuate the area only to get caught in a massive traffic jam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to wildfire evacuations expert Tom Cova, many towns only have one or two evacuation routes that residents can use to leave during an emergency. The problem occurs when thousands of people attempt to evacuate at the same time, leading to road congestion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s like being at a concert, the density of these communities, and if you leave early, you just stand up and walk out,” Cova, a professor of geography at the University of Utah, said. “But if you delay your departure, if you’re spending a lot of time gathering things and maybe hesitating whether or not you’re at risk, then you’ll find yourself in the midst of the main travel pull.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cova said many of the cities and towns being impacted by these fires grow organically with little consideration for how roads would need to operate during emergencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, gridlock is not new to Los Angeles,” said Paul Friedman, chief technical officer of Streetlight Data, a San Francisco-based traffic analytics company. “Due to urban sprawl, poor urban planning, poor zoning laws, houses are very spread out and people need more road capacity per person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He continued: “If you just have one hour to get everybody out, you’re going to have problems. These roads are not designed to empty a community in one hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1946668/data-pinpoints-14-california-communities-with-most-limited-emergency-escape-routes\">2019 study published\u003c/a> by Streetlight Data identified 100 communities in the country that have the fewest evacuation routes, and California had 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are only a few things city officials can do to avoid issues of gridlock and congestion during emergencies, Friedman said. The first would be to issue evacuation and emergency warnings earlier in order to give residents more time to leave. The second would be to transition more two-way roads into one-way roads. The California Highway Patrol did a similar thing in Santa Cruz after the CZU Lightning Complex fires in 2020, Friedman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evacuation might be the gravest danger associated with wildfires, according to Scott Stephens, a professor of fire science at UC Berkeley. Stephens said that while evacuating an area may sometimes be necessary, doing so can leave people exposed to smoke and fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All it takes is one accident, a smoky road or maybe a power line down, and essentially, you’ve just blocked that evacuation route,” Stephens said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020989\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12020989\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008788861309-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Megan Mantia, left, and her boyfriend Thomas, who only gave his first, return to Mantia’s fire-damaged home after the Eaton Fire swept through on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025, in Altadena, Calif. \u003ccite>(Ethan Swope/AP Photo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, for people in L.A.

In September, major heat waves further dried out fuels. Plus, parts of coastal Southern California have seen the driest and hottest start to winter on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12020765 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/AP25008230498824-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swain said that much of the area has burned due to having “the most thirsty atmosphere on record since October 1st.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These conditions created the perfect scenario for a wildfire to grow out of control and spread into populated areas. The fires became uncontrollable when Santa Ana winds — common for the winter but especially extreme this week — picked up. Winds across the foothills and valleys were \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=pnslox\">as strong as 70 mph\u003c/a>, with gusts touching 100 mph higher in the mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Southern California fires remind Swain of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837188/how-could-this-happen-twice-camp-fire-survivors-who-moved-away-relive-wildfire-trauma\">Camp Fire\u003c/a>, which leveled the town of Paradise near Chico in 2018 and was the deadliest fire in California history, killing 85 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the same story of what happened in Paradise,” he said. “That occurred in November in Northern California in a very wet part of the state that hadn’t yet received seasonal precipitation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Swain sees clear links between human-caused climate change — driving extreme dry fuel conditions and record warmth — and the fires raging in Southern California. A warming world means wetter wet periods, hotter temperatures, and more extreme droughts. This flip-flopping, both at the sub-seasonal and interannual levels, will stoke wildfires when ignited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just that drier conditions are perpetually more likely in a warming climate; it’s that this oscillation back and forth between states is something that is particularly consequential for wildfire risk in Southern California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a warming climate where global emissions continue to rise, he said, “there’s every indication” that the wettest years will become even more soaked, summers will continue to warm, and autumn will get drier, which means that this cycle of Southern California burning could likely be commonplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The fires became uncontrollable when Santa Ana winds — common for the winter but especially extreme this week — picked up.
