What happened was the weather changed dramatically.

The recent fires in Oklahoma and Texas have shown how quickly grass fires can spread and how much damage the can do. We don't want to have a situation like that here.

We have fire effects monitors out here with each unit that are studying the flame lengths and the topography and the wind - all the weather conditions. We have a list of 15 things that we wanted to pay more attention to or do differently this year.

We're not looking to cause any more hardship for these people. We know they already suffered a terrible loss.

We're expecting a higher-than-average fire season, especially below 8,000 feet.
