Fire season in California is a notorious time of the year, and the term "growing like wildfire" is something that is well known to residents across the state.
Starting in September and October, when forestry is drying out, the smallest flames can catch dry brush and spread rapidly; the results are often devastating.

Reports of all 2019 fire incidents from the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection show that there was a total of:
6,190 incidents
198,392 acres burned
732 structures damaged or destroyed
3 fatalities
