The seven most destructive wildfires in California history have all happened in the last 10 years.
Now a report by the Santa Clara County Fire Department is raising new red flags about the South Bay's fire risk.
In the Redwood Estates located at the Santa Cruz Mountains, there are more than 300 homes with thick tree and brush surrounding them. Neighbors said they welcome more fire resources, especially since there is only one road out of the area.
The Camp Fire, California's most destructive wildland fire ever, is a painful reminder of what firefighters call a new normal. "What we've seen is we are getting larger and more frequent fires," Santa Clara County Fire Department Capt. Bill Murphy said. "And our resources are getting strained."
The fire department analyzed the fire danger and found climate change is quickly increasing our risk.
