As part of a much larger picture, I am very concerned. As we’re witnessing right now, there’s New Mexico, there’s Texas, even Nebraska is on fire, and the chances of us getting out of the way are slim-to-none. I’m concerned enough to have a contingency plan in place because I got evacuated from a wildfire in Santa Cruz. I’m now in Chico.

I remember my freshman year, I think, is when the fires happened. That was definitely daunting. I think it is a problem that needs to be [addressed].

I’m certainly concerned. The last couple of years, there’s been a lot of smoke. It’s pretty nasty. Definitely concerned about that. Hopefully we don’t have another smoky summer.

Everybody always ought to be concerned about wildfire. It’s a problem every year. You get to wondering, “What’s left to burn?” Everybody ought to be careful.
Everything is very dry, it’s going to be a long summer.
