You know it’s odd. People have mentioned that Camp Fire was a crown fire but in all the pictures I see the trees look ok. It’s the stuff on the ground. Like a brush fire.

That video shows an absolutely hideous scene.

I saw video where the ground fire was an incredible inferno leaving me with the belief that a large amount of debris was let build up and added to the destruction.
I was with my girlfriend tonight, and we watched this video. She suggested that this year instead of getting each other a big gift we donate the money to the victims of the California fires. I thought (as always) first of the Salvation Army. But if you can suggest a better, more direct agency, we would appreciate it.

Chernobyl, Hiroshima and Nagasaki without the radiation. Truly haunting, especially the cars abandoned on the road. Imagine the agonizing decisions to first exit your home and flee by vehicle, followed by a decision to exit the vehicle in those conditions and flee on foot.

What could have possibly caused all of this? This was not just something caused by nature.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Where do you start?

Perhaps when the time is right, you could make a memorial video for your town as has been done for other places?

Just a thought.

My first job at 17 was fighting forest fire, but nothing like this devastation. Watching this video, I can smell the smoke and ash fifty years later.
Heart.Breaking.
