Unfortunately, a couple of fires have been on more than once have been citizens that have been outside welding on days that have fire dangers. And that just a little spark gets into a brush next thing you know, you have a large fire. So this is a problem. If I were to give you a percentile, I would say that over half of our wildfires that we respond to are human caused by negligence.
maybe about 25% could be attributed to some sort of homelessness activity. But generally, we're keeping those fires pretty small. They don't tend to just go make a warming fire in an area that they know that's going to spread a vegetation because they want to really be left alone.
I think you can always donate to the United Way and Red Cross. At these points, we have people that want to volunteer and help. Look to those organizations. Typically, the fire agencies will be inundated by people wanting to help out. But remember that we're totally engaged in this fire. We're going to remain engaged in these fires for quite some time.
You can also donate money to those organizations that will help those in need. Really what I need you to do to move forward though is realize citizens, you're a part in keeping fires small. We need you to work with your local fire authorities. Please go to their websites. Look at what fire safety looks like in your particular area. Almost 80% of Californians live in a wildland urban interface.
That's a huge percentage of our population.
Start with your house, making sure you're meeting with contractors, making sure that your house is constructed in a safe manner to prevent wildfire, that you're following those guidelines that you'll find on the websites about removing fuels away from your house, that you're examining the trees, the shrubs, the grasses, removing them, creating fire breaks around your property will keep those fires from spreading and destroying your house.
My heart goes out to the L.A. City and L.A. County firefighters that are working so hard and citizens that have lost their houses. Charlie, thank you for highlighting these issues and having me as a guest.
