With that in mind, Con Fire is bracing for more red flag conditions early in May, something not even veteran firefighters have seen. This is a first for me. In talking to people in our organization, this is usually when we’re just starting to put the notices out to start abatement, said Contra Costa County Fire District Fire Marshall Chris Bachman.
Contra Costa County residents are paying close attention to the conditions as well. We’re very concerned, said Amir Bahman, and also where we’re at, with the narrow roads, it’s kind of hard to, you know, maneuver around.”
