Last year, San Jose alone experienced 30 preventable fires resulting from illegal fireworks. Across the nation, there were 19,000 fires and more than 9,000 injuries that resulted from fireworks, Estrada said. Typically, Fourth of July celebrations result in twice as many fires than any other day of the year, said Dwight Good, assistant chief of cooperative fire protection with Cal Fire s Santa Clara Unit. He said this is incredibly concerning as wildfire season in the Bay Area started weeks earlier than it typically does. The number of fires we ve responded to so far this year is 53 percent higher than the five-year average, Good said. Because of the drought, fuel conditions across the state are now what we would normally see in mid to late August when we get the large fires.
