It was only two weeks ago that the largest wildfire in state history grew into a 870,200-acre behemoth on federal land north of Sacramento. The blaze, which started Aug. 16, was still burning and only 43 percent contained Saturday, according to Cal Fire.
"Firefighters are getting a break, but not much," said Cal Fire spokesperson Christine McMorrow."We are getting a handle on the current fires, even some of those that have been burning since August." The agency said 8,000 wildfires have burned more than 3.6 million acres since the beginning of the year. Since mid-August, there have been 26 fire-related fatalities, it said.
McMorrow said state firefighters were nonetheless ready should the weather whip up flames that are usually sparked by humans. "We’re positioning resources and evaluating the weather day-by-day, hour-by-hour to make sure our troops are ready to go," she said.
Where is the federal government helping with these fires, not only because California and Americans need help and should be assisted in all ways possible, but as well the government owns a lot of this land, this administration should be responsible. WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump
The criminals who own NBC are also manipulating the weather and starting race wars everywhere which include arson and weapons and training

If the Federal government owns the majority of the forest in northern Ca. and as Trump has constantly stated it is the lack of forest maintenance that has caused the fires, why can't the state sue the federal gov. to recoup the cost of the fires?

Thanks again for not voting for Clinton. The Republicans don't care if the entire state of California burns to the ground.

There has been a 43% increase in arson fires in LA from the same time period last year. Could the coronavirus pandemic be partly to blame/ ANTIFA?
