SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
California saw a much more quiet fire season in 2022 compared to the previous year. The year-to-date data from Cal Fire shows 362,478 acres burned this year. That's a much lower number than the 2,569,459 acres that burned in 2021.
So why was this year less active?
KCRA 3 talked to UC Berkeley professor Scott Stephens about what changed.
