    Brings back memories of the Camp Fire a few years back. That fire started just north of my home. It burned around to the side and then it took out Beautiful Paradise. My house was in danger, but I was protected by the hand of God, while other family members lost everything except for the clothes on their back. LITERALLY !

    California and the Fed’s fire management policy of suppressing fires, rather than controlled burns (including because virtual-signaling self-proclaimed environments do not understand that burning trees are part of the forest lifecycle) has resulted in decades of dry kindling ready to burn. On top of this, Californians continue to build in fire zone areas. BTW, Search on “goats fight wildfires” for some interesting videos how the lowly goat is used to remove dry brush the old-fashioned way! (:

    I’m watching the huge plume grow from my “new rebuilt home in Paradise”. I’ve been here for ONE MONTH. In the 5 yrs since our fire little has been done to ride the areas of the invasive Scotch broom. My lot & many others r clear BUT on 3 side is S’Broom & star thistle. Something MUST BE DONE to force negligent land owners to clear their property.

    The fires break my heart - no matter where. I am sure that home owners are grateful that they are mostly “only burning wild lands and wild life.” I have very mixed feelings on that‼️‼️‼️

    Another reason to dislike the west coast like I needed one.

    Maybe our own Government 🫤wouldn't put it pass them.
