Seasoned East Bay weather watchers know not to be fooled by summer's end. Especially when it comes to wildfire. The worst fire conditions typically hit in early fall, with a spate of searing temperatures coupled with strong, dry "Diablo" winds.

Of course, "typical" is disappearing from the weather lexicon, replaced by increasing unpredictability, a shift many experts link to climate change.

All the more reason to prepare, emphasize wildfire specialists. 

Home inspections, a "fuel break" on Grizzly Peak and a project focused on eucalyptus understory cleanup are just a few of the efforts underway — and insurance companies may be taking note.

You won't want to miss today's deep dive, from veteran reporter Kate Darby Rauch.
