_June wildfire forecast showing Santa Cruz County, red is above normal, modified from [NIFC-NICC](https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/09e344d0-348f-4c9f-94ec-0cb65d9e127b?j=eyJ1IjoiNXRuaiJ9.5dWOXV7HC5EzNFz5fVlb9tN21DDT5EVcDkcmd3dsOZk)_

The latest official wildfire forecast shows Santa Cruz County above normal for this June. Wildfire risks in the Western U.S. climbed a lot since March, because of droughts, record-setting heat waves, and rapid snowmelt. Overall, so much land is at risk that large firefighting agencies like the [U.S. Forest Service](https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/b031e8b2-8804-42d6-b9f2-4bbcc506edc5?j=eyJ1IjoiNXRuaiJ9.5dWOXV7HC5EzNFz5fVlb9tN21DDT5EVcDkcmd3dsOZk) and [CAL FIRE](https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/3aeaf5e4-327b-42b3-830a-707cb6d1a831?j=eyJ1IjoiNXRuaiJ9.5dWOXV7HC5EzNFz5fVlb9tN21DDT5EVcDkcmd3dsOZk) are worried about having enough equipment and firefighters. CAL FIRE runs eight [fire stations](https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/02f6002f-d05f-4cb1-89a7-251857269cf8?j=eyJ1IjoiNXRuaiJ9.5dWOXV7HC5EzNFz5fVlb9tN21DDT5EVcDkcmd3dsOZk) across Santa Cruz County.

If you live in the woods or in town, get your home and family [ready](https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/27509d6c-9e15-4fd2-90ee-6601e8502db2?j=eyJ1IjoiNXRuaiJ9.5dWOXV7HC5EzNFz5fVlb9tN21DDT5EVcDkcmd3dsOZk) now. Don’t put it off until it’s too late.
