==Twentieth Century Wildfires==
In the early 20th century, recorded fires were relatively small in scale but became destructive as the infrastructure and towns in California became built-up. The Berkley Fire of 1923 and Griffith Park Fire in 1933 are two examples of fires that were only about 10s of acres, although in the case of the Griffith Park Fire about 29 people died. This period saw that policy around fire suppression became more established, with the US Forest Service stating that wildfires were to be put out by 10 AM after the day a fire began.
