With the droughts they've been having, with nearly empty reservoirs a few months back, fighting these fires will be a terribly horrifying effort!

That bad

This is starting to look like someone is behind it. It's too much now

Being from California I feel for the people evacuating! Prayers that the firemen stay safe & get this under control soon! Prayers for all those affected. 🥺🙏🏼♥️

Do they have enough water to douse off the fire

GOD is coming for the land...without compensation

Isn't the WC having a lot of fires this year? Don't remember it ever being as bad as this.
