I do not know but as an amateur historian of California disaster history I'd have to say that in the modern era we are in the midst of the worst week historically-speaking and the worst such month for both ends of the state as well. September comes in second place for both NorCal and SoCal.

With all these fire anniversaries, it appears this particular week of October has been the most dangerous in the past. Has there been any chart or study showing which week of the year SoCal experienced the most fires?
