A total of 14 wildfires, starting with the May 13 Bernardo Fire, scorched around 26,000 acres of forest and vegetation. It cost the county nearly $28 million to fight the fires on multiple fronts, and cost residents almost $30 million in property damage, according to the county's after-action report. It was only second to the worst firestorm in the county's history eight years ago. Had it not been for San Diego's commitment to improving disaster response, the toll would've been much higher. According to the report, firefighting aircraft played a crucial role in controlling the May blazes. CAL FIRE is currently working to expand its air fleet and secure a future commitment for military assistance should another blaze of this scale recur.
