    All this from a guy setting his car on fire. Bro this has to be a life sentence
  • Good news is that it’s 12 percent contained and that they creating that buffer ahead of the fire. Good job to all the firemen, policemen, and all first responders! And thank you reporters!
  • @SilverCymbal
    They aren't joking. We can smell the smoke here in New Hampshire, I wish these folks and the firefighters the best fightning this
  • @benschlotte8242
    It burns over and over. Why anyone would live in that dump is beyond me.
  • Lord, Please protect the first responder fire fighters. Let those who leave get out safely. Thank you. Amen.
  • @defendfreedom777
    Why do these people continue to live in this garbage dump? This state once the gem jewel of America has created so many of it's own problems and has to constantly deal with drought fires and natural disasters that if I were the decent people of this state I would cut my losses and move.
  • @chocolatezen
    Ummm how does the west coast keep catching fire
  • @akuma12349
    it’s time to increase the severity of legal ramifications for starting these fires, and taking more precautions to prevent them, we can’t let this just keep happening every year
  • Praying for the firemen, animals, and residents. So sad to lose all that beautiful nature. Those poor trees. ❤
  • @justaguy2360
    How about you report on what Gavin New some is doing to help these people? Or even how to help prevent this?
  • That's because California doesn't clean tye dead brush. It's bad policy that allows forest fires like this.
  • @Boatright
    Forest Mismanagement at full display.
  • Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires
  • @alwhisenant5309
    Same 'ol same 'ol! Every stinking year. When will they learn?
