“We’re in for a really rough ride,” Gov. Jerry Brown said at a news conference Wednesday in Sacramento. “It’s going to get expensive, it’s going to get dangerous, and we have to apply all our creativity to make the best of what is going to be an increasingly bad situation.”

Fighting wildfires across the state of California has never been easy, but the damage and fallout seems to be intensifying. CalFire Chief Ken Pimlott and Deputy Director of Communications Mike Mohler join Beth Ruyak in studio to discuss current firefighting efforts across the state.
