"Warning System Down: California's Deadliest Fires" - REVEAL, Saturday March 10th @ 8am

In all, more than 170 blazes ripped across an area the size of Maryland and Delaware combined. Scores awoke to flames at their doors, and 44 people were killed in the deadliest fire event in state history.  

On this episode of Reveal, we team up with KQED to examine what led to delays in evacuations and why so many fire victims received no warnings at all. As wildfires grow more intense, are first responders keeping up? We’ll also take a look at the aftermath and why lawmakers are approving building permits in areas they know will burn again.  

You can hear REVEAL every Saturday morning at 8:00 am on KRCB-FM Radio 91; or any time on the FREE KRCB App!
