The fire has destroyed homes and forced evacuations.

Prayers for all those that lost their homes, and all of Gods animals. 🙏

Let me fix that headline: "Arson in California force evacuations".

Pay attention to who buys up this land for pennies on the dollar.

Every time I see one of these wildfires it brings back memories from the summer of 1985. I want to say good memories, but that sounds a little harsh. But as an inmate with CDC I became eligible for the Conservation Camp Program which allowed us to work with Cal Fire on a couple of wildfires that were burning in Ventura county that Summer. As inmates we were getting paid a whopping $2 a day to build fire breaks ahead of the fire. I can honestly say it was a lot of fun and gave me a sense of purpose. I tried signing up with Cal Fire and the US Forestry service after my release. But at the time they didn’t want ex-cons on their staff. They were cool with us as inmates but not as ex-cons. Go figure. Something I wondered about then and still wonder today, why to people continue to build homes in fire prone areas? Yes its beautiful area but its also a tinder box.

If you thought fire insurance was expensive before these fires just wait until the next insurance bills come out. You better be sitting down before you open the envelope.

Why didn’t they save the water when it was flooding? There would have been enough water to fight fires. But the first factor is real estate. Who is buying the Fire property cheap

Praying for safety for everyone working these fires!

As much as I despise California and California liberals, I don't wish this on anyone.

Another fire started by elites with lasers where trees dont burn for future land grabs. Just like in Maui last year.

If only there was something they could do to prevent forest fires, like maybe better forest management or stopping Eco-terrorist from pushing burning cars off the bluff and then screaming Climate Change 🤡🤡

The corporations and government kickbacks need to go !

"The only thing left of the house is the oh yeah and all those TREES hanging over it and all around it.🤦AaaawJeeeez here we go again

[AwakenedOne]

Let me get this straight, homes and cars obliterated, but tree’s left standing. 🤔

[paranormaltheorist]

The house is gone, but the trees around the ruins are green?

[adamfrbs]

Forests, they need to be managed near populations, mmmmk.
What costs more a massive State Wide Forestry Crew, or playing hero firefighter while essentially just watching everything and sometimes everyone burn and having to rebuild entire infrastructureas well as all the homes and businesses?
Seems like a simple choice to me.

Didn’t California receive a record amount of rain and snow this past year? And the trees around these fires sure look green. What happened this time?

[edmorse]

Who has been arrested? or prosecuted????

[KawakebAstra]

todays tech could have extinguished already

[anibalchavez]

All of those prisoners, aka volunteer firefighters, better had paid attention to their training.
