The irony of so much water nearby while the place burns to crisp

Be grateful for what you have. Stop complaining about the trivial things in your life, for there are people who are truly suffering.

WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FIGHTING THE FIRE!?!

A wildfire isnt in a city or urban ir rural areas.
A wildfire is in a wilderness and a forestfire is in a forest.

[elvato]

So what or who started this fire, who ever started it should be locked up for life

[paulcasarez]

The news is quiet on how did the boats burn on water

[KAZU-khlb]

It seems that the significant dryness was the cause, but the extent of the devastation from this fire is truly distressing.

[Layingflat]

So sad, it was such a pretty town and market

[michaelbassett]

Very sad. Praying for everyone involved.

[josephastier]

0:53 Those ditched vehicles are a signature image of this disaster.

[myname-nsrp]

A forestfire that forgets to burn trees and just melts metal and incinerates concrete. Okay.

[otherZinc]

What happened!
How did this "Fire" begin?

[hebneh]

Usually a building fire is sprayed with water and extinguished by firefighters - but that didn't happen here, and thus everything that was burnable was consumed. When that happens, temperatures get so hot that even steel will warp and deform, as can be seen with some of the structural frames that are still in place here. You can also see the deformation of some of the vehicle bodies as well.

Where are the fire trucks and police cars?
