Praying for safety for Oroville and Chico, Concow, Paradise!

First Paradise & now Oroville?
💔💔💔

[williamtanner]

I sure hope the best for the people living in that area.

Might want to start control burning in the off season

[charmcshane]

What's up with all these burning trucks, yet ALL AROUND, trees and bushes UNTOUCHED?!?!🧐

[SinForTheSaint]

I was up here for the paradise campfire. Now this. We always on fire. Getting hard to deal with.

The forest floor is not being maintained. The Indians used the underbrush for poles and firewood, and the grazing wildlife foraged it as well. Now govt policy is causing the conditions that feed the fires

It's ridiculous that it's let to burn. I was a fire fighter near oroville. At the fire house, we would talk about how we could put the fires out no problem depending on the situation, but protocols directed by politics and funding harvesting which is the more damage caused by a natural disaster the more federal funding gets drawn into the state. which, in turn, feeds the pockets of the politicians. It was one of the reasons i quit being a fire fighter. When you want to save people homes and lives from fires, but you get an argument every time you try, it gets tiring.

Easier to force smart cities and electric vehicles if your homes are destroyed and gas vehicle is burnt up. A lot of bushes untouched and trees not burning but cars on fire.

Was hoping it didn't get to houses how sad. Did not see this on local news

[joannlarson]

Since Newsome the state seems to have lots of fires. What caused this one.

[marctompkins]

It’s like watching my childhood Town of Paradise burn down again. So sad!

[larryrobinson]

Not to take away from all the suffering, but, thanks to the Supreme Court’s decision…none of this matters. Keep fascism out of the presidency.

The fire in the Bay Area is so bad that the insurance company, State Farm, is pulling outta California.

No more State Farm Insurance.

Let's ask Governor Clayvin Nuisance in his *most* infinite wisdom what we Californians should do during this time of crisis. Perhaps he'll loan some of his beloved and very fancy hair gel to some of us folk.

Just walking in the footsteps of John the Baptist. Nice CGI by the by

[ArthurKing-eikr]

Looks like desolation, and it is coming!

[vcatc]

And some want this politician to be president. lol

[rmsvend]

This reminds me of the democrat party.
