Proud of my Big Local Class this fall and the work this team did examining costly forest fires -- want the data and an analysis guide? Hit me up!
Analysis by students in our @BigLocalNews class has found California dwarfs other states in fire-suppression costs. And dense development at the border of wildlands helps explain California fires’ exceptional damage and expense to put out. peninsulapress.com/2018/12/1…

I just realized that eight of California's top 20 most destructive wildfires have occurred since the 2015 Valley and Butte fires. Combined that's more than 13,800 buildings destroyed. fire.ca.gov/communications/d…

Tip for those learning Python at #NICAR18 - find a quick coding project when you go home; something small to make your life easier. Don’t wait to dive into coding.

These fires are nowhere near contained, and there’s a lot we don’t know about their extent, where they began and what has been lost. 18/

The #Atlas fire began in an area that hasn't seen fire since 1981. CAL FIRE has no recorded fire history where the #Patrick fire began. 17/

..But more people living in these areas means a greater chance for fire. Humans cause as much as 90 percent of wildfires. 12/
