The GT has an article about the threat of wildlife to the west and southwest sides of the city. According to the article, wildfire that broke out on Tuesday were very close to exploding into infernos. The city has declared a fire ban much earlier than normal this year.
Interesting ecological quote from the CS Fire Marshall, Brett Lacey:

Interesting ecological quote from the CS Fire Marshall, Brett Lacey:
Fire moves along sloped land quickly, Lacey said, since flames tend to
burn upslope during the day, when warm air rises and air currents
travel upward.
The process is reversed at night, so fires would burn
downslope, creating a zig-zag burn pattern, igniting dry land 24 hours
a day.
