Three large grass fires ignited across Northern California Wednesday. Firefighters said the blazes should serve as a wake up call for homeowners that it's time to clear space around their home. "We encourage everybody to start thinking about defensible space," Sacramento Metro Fire Capt. Chris Vestal said. "It’s only early June, and we’re already having some pretty significant fire behavior in the Sacramento Valley. We have fuels that are light, they dry out fast and they don’t regain their moisture overnight."
