An early wildfire season combined with a statewide drought has the Tri-Valley s fire departments ramping up in big ways for even bigger blazes they say are more likely to happen this year and have the potential to be even more destructive than ever.
California experienced six of its largest and most-damaging fires in history during the 2020 fire season, which saw more than 4 million acres burned statewide (double the previous record from 2008) and also broke numerous records, according to officials for Cal Fire, the state s fire agency.
Having responded to more than 1,300 wildland fire incidents so far this year, Cal Fire said continued dry conditions and temperatures already well above normal for this time of year could make the 2021 wildfire season as catastrophic and devastating as last year.
Organizers say the goal is to provide better access for people to get vaccinated at more convenient locations.

De La Salle players celebrate Blake Burke s Big Fly
High school baseball will return in full swing to Islanders Field on Saturday, when De La Salle takes on Acalanes in the River Islands community.
The game, at 2 p.m., will feature a power-packed De La Salle lineup, led by slugger Blake Burke, a Tennessee commit. Acalanes is paced by accomplished shortstop Davis Diaz, a Vanderbilt commit. Both programs are highly respected in the region.
The Spartans have a 2-0 mark at Islanders Field this season, with wins over Tracy and College Park.
Subscribe De La Salle s awesome. Their fans are awesome. They travel really well, said Chris deClercq, a former San Ramon Valley and Northgate coach who helps put on events at Islanders Field. I think they appreciate what River Islands can do for the high school kids. It s just a great experience.
Joseph Victor Alfano was born Sept. 22, 1942, in Pittston, Pennsylvania, to Joseph Angelo Alfano and Josephine Madelena Barberis.
He had one brother (Phil), and the family s princess was his little sister (Marie). Joe loved calling his sister Marie daily, and they often talked about the good olâ days. Joe always ended those phone calls with âLove you madly. Ciao! Ciao!â
He was preceded in death by his parents (Joe and Josie), Nona, and Uncle Mondo.
At age 3, he and his family moved to sunny California. He was born with a talent for music. His parents nurtured that love of music by buying him his first saxophone and upright string bass (which he still owned and played). He earned a masterâs in music from San Jose State University. He taught instrumental music classes to a range of students from young kindergarteners to college undergraduates.
