Wildfires in California have become increasingly volatile, particularly under adverse weather conditions. Witnesses noted the rapid escalation of the flames, fueled by strong winds that began the night before.

Horrifying, but maybe don’t create your own isolated rich enclaves with one way in/out so that emergency crews get stuck by your abandoned vehicles

@aeptacon

RIght now on FoxNews there is a lady reporter walking in front of 2 people with 3 horses trying to desperately escape the flames and she wants an interview and to slow them down for a story! FoxNews is made up of idiots.

Mexikarmafornia.... No one that does not live there cares. Blame Gavin Nusence

@nealprentice8241

Northern CA gets huge fires but they usually do a great job of settings fire lines to protect homes. SoCal everything is just so tight and they have those hills that get the winds going. And of course who doesnt want a house in the hills of LA if you have the money? Add to that the small amount of rain they get, Just a bummer. Hard to see an end to these nasty fires.Sounds like a great community that will pull together and help each other.

@TraumaBloodline
