California is engulfed in massive flames. I wonder if some of these fires are intentionally set or could be terrorism.

You have to hope that death came quickly and painlessly for that poor soul.
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

The Camp Fire, near Chico, is about 600 miles from the fires in the LA area. Paradise seems to have been a place people went to retire, as well as having longer-term residents. Access to many homes is not great - dirt/gravel roads over which one must travel slowly. So many who died lived in more remote areas or were elderly.

I've been following news about the Camp Fire some because my older daughter had friends at the Youth With A Mission base that is sort of between Paradise and Chico. The fire was blown in another direction, thankfully. Also, a classmate from high school is a retired nurse and her church was used as an evacuation center, she was volunteering there.

The worrisome thing about that fire, long term, is that that area is part of the watershed for Lake Oroville, whose dam was the one that was seriously damaged back in early 2017. The burned over area won't slow rain run-off the way other areas will, and if this winter is rainy that dam could be stressed (hopefully it's been repaired!).

BTW, I've heard of Texas fire departments sending personnel and equipment to help fight fires in CA. Doubtless other states have too. If you know someone who came to help, please relay my thanks. I'm not affected directly, but it seems like everybody I know has family or friends affected by the fires (e.g. the sister of a runner friend lived in Paradise and is a member of the church where my friend was volunteering).

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

If they allow wildfires to burn naturally centuries ago, this would never happen.
