was able to put out a small brush fire before it grew out of control. The incident comes as state officials warned the public about potential fire dangers this holiday weekend.Thursday’s small brush fire in the 200 block of Gossage Way sent Monte's family running for water.
"It totally took us by surprise," said Monte. "We don’t know what cause it. At first, we thought it was sparks from the power line, but we don’t know." Neighbors said they’re baffled by the fire, seeing how most people in the area are good about cutting back their tall, dry grass. "We're meeting, dare I say, the moment addressing the nature of the change in the extreme, uh, extremes that we're now challenged within this state," Newsom said.
Cal Fire said it is deploying a new fleet of "fire hawk" aircraft that are equipped with infrared technology to detect fires in real-time. The fire hawks are also able to fly at night to monitor conditions. In addition to aircraft, Cal Fire said it’s fully staffed for the weekend ahead.
