As the fires spread, the community response has revealed an unsettling reluctance from some residents to evacuate despite imminent threats. Officials are commanding evacuation orders and establishing emergency shelters for displaced individuals, including seniors from nearby facilities.

The fires, fueled by strong winds and an ongoing drought, have reached critical levels, particularly the Eaten Fire, which is currently the largest and most destructive. Tragically, five lives have been lost due to its ferocity, making it the deadliest fire in the region.

The elitist mecca on fire. You would never see this level of coverage by US State Party Backed Propaganda Media Agencies if this happened in Ohio. It would have received about as much coverage as a Trup rally.. all the while they still sit around and wonder why he one. Twice.

Why is liquid nitrogen, not used like small bombs dropped would that not out a fire. Or what about, integrated fire suppression systems per property rise out the gardens like sprinkler systems, just with chemicals.
