Read the following passage and determine the main idea.

In the six months before the wildfires began, California had not received much
rain. Once the fires started, warnings went out to the residents whose homes
were in danger. The fires spread very quickly due to strong winds. Hundreds of
thousands had to leave their homes. Rescue workers rushed to help evacuate
some who did not evacuate in time.


Even though wildfires spread quickly, most were able to leave their homes in time or
were rescued.

Even though wildfires spread quickly, firefighters extinguished the flames right away.

Global warming caused the six months of little rain.

Warnings about fires need to go out to the residents as soon as a fire is spotted.
