What affects fire damage around Alhambra

Older homes and detached garages and workshops add fire risk from wiring, heaters and stored materials.
Dry summers make outdoor fires, equipment sparks and fireworks more dangerous.
Rainy season heating and electrical use can lead to space heater and wiring fires.
