Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency for the Valley Fire, which is south east of Sacramento.

Mark Ghilarducci, director of the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, said this summer’s fires are the most volatile he has seen in 30 years of emergency response work. The main cause behind the fast-spreading fires is dry conditions from the drought.

“The bushes, the trees have absolutely no moisture in them, and the humidities are so low that we are seeing these ‘fire starts’ just erupt into conflagrations,” Ghilarducci said.

The aftermath of the moving flames shows dead animals who have suffered from smoke inhalation as well as the ashes of homes, cars, schools and playgrounds.
