About this episode

This episode discusses the dangers of wildfires in Arizona and the factors contributing to a potentially severe wildfire season.

To a lot of people, most refer to this time as summer. Arizonans though, think of it as another season: wildfire season. The past year in Arizona has been very dry, and with little rainfall, we could have some extremely serious wildfires this season. On this week’s episode of Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we talk with The Republic’s climate reporter, Joan Meiners, to learn about the dangers of wildfire spread and what could cause this season to be one of our worst.
