All this from a guy setting his car on fire. Bro this has to be a life sentence

[Teresa.Says.It.Here.]

Lord, Please protect the first responder fire fighters. Let those who leave get out safely. Thank you. Amen.

they’re smart! Anyone living in the area should either be in a camper or their home set-up is on wheels like a tiny house! A house built into the ground is not practical there, having a camper means your not homeless during an Emergency

They aren't joking. We can smell the smoke here in New Hampshire, I wish these folks and the firefighters the best fightning this

[akuma]

it’s time to increase the severity of legal ramifications for starting these fires, and taking more precautions to prevent them, we can’t let this just keep happening every year

Praying for the firemen, animals, and residents. So sad to lose all that beautiful nature. Those poor trees. ❤

Good news is that it’s 12 percent contained and that they creating that buffer ahead of the fire. Good job to all the firemen, policemen, and all first responders! And thank you reporters!

I'm so sorry, California. Sorry for the likely laser attacks from inside. I pray you recover. I love you, California. Take Care.

California is an interesting place. Beautiful. I spent half my life in California born and bred. It is the only place in the world that complains about drought, afterwords it rains and the lakes fill up and they complain about the rain. We are having fires all over. Most by humans lately. Oddly enough most of them lighting them have a climate background. Its as if they are setting the fires so they can bark more loud about the 'Climate knows what the latest nut was trying to do. It feels like living in dystopia. Good is now called evil and evil is now good and everything is focused on negative attention, in fact people have become addicted to it. The empires are crumbling, evil is increasing. False Christ and ministers are growing in numbers and hatred towards the church is increasing. We are truly living in very interesting times...

How about you report on what Gavin New some is doing to help these people? Or even how to help prevent this?

[vanpearsall]

[michelebush]

[silencingmachine]

And it will be the same story next summer, Get it together.

[chocolatezen]

Ummm how does the west coast keep catching fire

[melindaescamilla]

God bless and protect California and all the residents Amen. 😢❤

[trevorstarks]

That's because California doesn't clean tye dead brush. It's bad policy that allows forest fires like this.

Why there is no Nightly news on youtube anymore?

[benschlotte]

It burns over and over. Why anyone would live in that dump is beyond me.
