"California Officials Warn Of No Swift End To Severe Fire Season"

"It has been a record year for wildfires in California, and officials are warning that the end is not yet in sight. NPR checks in on the fires burning in Northern California and the Sierra Nevada."

"It's almost impossible to overstate the severity of this year's wildfire season in California. There have been 1,500 more fires this year than last, and three major fires continue to burn today. As one fire official put it, we don't see an end to the fire season in the months to come."

Kirk Siegler and Richard Gonzales report for NPR's All Things Considered September 15, 2015.
