Saw a story on it earlier. Terrible scene. Something like 20,000 people evacuated. Crazy.
And what drives me nuts, which I always see in comment sections in stories about wildfires, is "It's ok. Fire is good for the forest." That tells me immediately that those people don't live around wildfires or understand the impact. Outside of the loss of property, mudslides and everything else that comes with them, including death, there's zero guarantee these days that forests regenerate. These are long lasting events that aren't over when the fire dies out.

Same story every year , they do not care to invest in protecting the people or the environment

@sundazzled out of control. How do you know this.
Has it ever happened before?
Did anyone spontaneously burst into flame

@Patriot96 you're just playing stupid. You understand that extreme heat and drought fuel fires and make them difficult to contain.

@sundazzled no your just not accepting the truth.
This is called WEATHER, it happens

Yes deliberate arson but it is to blame on " climate change".

No kidding. Europe is making the transition to green energy rapidly, as if it were important. But nobody thinks we'll survive NATO and America, owing Nature in our time.

@Darksideinthenight2 Until it'll be your home or your business. The frequency and scale of these events is unprecedented.
