United States Forest Service Wildland Firefighter Joey Presley said the rain is needed during the ongoing fire season.
"We definitely need the rain, we have had a lot of rain the past few months, but it has not actually stopped our fire season, we were actually on a fire in the Gaviota Coast 2 days ago," said Presley," it wasn't burning too much, it got up to 10 acres, but- still big enough to cause a scene."
