A lot of drama but doesn’t mention the fire was started by arson. Kind of misses a huge part of the story.

[tinatovar]

I'm so sorry for everybody out there

[karlaelvis]

Blessings to all of the innocent (both humans and animals) being impacted by this fire - thank you to the firefighters risking their lives to contain it and preserve people's homes

[byehgyv]

The person who started this is quite right now 👀

The cattle are family up until the day that we eat them. 5000 acres an hour ? More like 500

Relax! Don't panic..

I still remember years ago when they had a plan to totally stop the fires and it worked well enough until it allowed massive underbrush to grow. Now instead of fighting many small fires they have to fight massive ones that are way more destructive. Prayers for the folks harmed by this..

It is becoming dangerous to live in northern California.

0:30 Trees under power lines, plants next to homes, Asphalt shingle roofs, wooden exteriors...all things _perfect_ for "Fire Country".

The sad truth is these are almost entirely preventable. But CA refuses to plan prescription burning.

Please God give us a new governor who cares about us!
We need proactive forestry!

Scorched? That is what happens to a pan of milk or your favorite shirt while ironing.

Well, if you allowed the forest service to manage the high risk zones, this wouldn’t be happening. But the hippies don’t want it in fear of hurting the ticks.

1:44 "All of them walking towards us." Me: just saw the cows standing there :I

[cbmore]

I hope the dude who did this, NEVER gets out of prison. What a POS

[vihtoripuurola]

Lots of fuel due to decades of neglect and forest mismanagement.

[Sundeep_x]

Yeah, it’s a family, but he’s gonna sell those kettle to butcher for money

[Danymity]

Awe...God bless the old man and his cattle. "They're family."

[sandrablades]

Amen your cattle and there shelter was saved.
God Bless
