Multiple wildfires have ravaged Southern California, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Dozens of homes have been destroyed as the fires were fueled by strong Santa Ana winds. The wildfires have not only impacted California, but parts of New Jersey were also scorched by the flames.
The devastation caused by these wildfires is a stark reminder of the unpredictable and destructive nature of wildfires. Firefighters and first responders have been working tirelessly to contain the fires and protect affected communities.
NBC News’ Dana Griffin has been on the ground reporting on the devastation caused by the wildfires. The scenes of destruction are heartbreaking as families have lost their homes and belongings to the flames.
As climate change continues to exacerbate wildfires across the country, it is more important than ever to take proactive measures to prevent and mitigate the impact of wildfires. Our thoughts are with the residents of Southern California and New Jersey who have been affected by these devastating wildfires.

SCEdison & Cal. Governor Fault. They allowed electrical lines to be changed the past 15 years. To unsafe twice as High Polls Replacements. Which were proven Unsafe to high wind active for fire. {false documents it was Safe} *FACT & No longer having to clear the brush along their electrical lines 40ft wide under all LINES. Since that agreement with Cal Governor you can see all the INCREASE of fires & loss of housing. ALL Due to their Scam of Save SC Edison money on Restringing OLD Electrical Lines. FACT LOOK AT EDISON BOOKS. THEY NEW IT WAS UNSAFE before it WAS DONE
They know the risk building in these mountains.
Paradise again
Life is crazy right now
lots of cheap houses available, they can move to another vacant house. they'll get $750 from Kamala and Joe so they should be ecstatic.
Removing that horrible human infestation?
Sus
Karma thank you Mother Nature
Remember California
You were against hurricane flood tornado damage aid
The Santa Ana winds are blowing at hurricane force. some places were at 85mph.
As a Democrat, I wish no harm to any human being such as this or any natural disaster. No, we are not behind it.
Don't worry. California voted mostly for Harris. The Biden/ Harris administration is still in charge. You WILL get your $750 dollars for the loss of your home.
SMH. Same with Hawaii, what were you thinking?
Doesn't matter. He won even without your lack of common sense.
Stay safe, southern friends! ~Oregon
Running out of Water . Cali is ridiculous. Go Hug your burnt Trees. You Vote for this leadeless carnage.
Maybe do not rebuild there…..
They got money plus they got insurance
The sad part is went people don’t have money and insurance and ending living in the parking lot of Walmart
Sounds like what happened to Maui.
The fire is terrible
Wow, that is awful. 😢
เขาควรสร้างเครื่องบินดับเพลิงให้มีมากกว่าเครื่องบินรบเพื่อยับยั้งไฟป่าที่ลุกลามทำลายบ้านเรือนของชาวบ้านที่ยากจะรับมือ
B52 mana?
Sad to say, If you can afford those homes you can afford the fire insurance. Not a matter of if, but when.
NO NO NO
BOSS – GOD BLESS
Wildfires don't just start on their own
When you see a home catch fire with no visible fire around it, the home wasn’t properly fireproofed!
Folks! Replace your attic and crawlspace vents with fire rated vents. Or cover them with 1/8th inch, steel mesh. Remove all vegetation and flammable materials within ten feet of your house, especially wood fences and decking. Make the bottom three feet of your exterior walls fire resistant with stone, Hardiboard, whatever. Replace your roof with steel. Thin vegetation, mow grasses, and remove most shrubs within 100’ of your house. Work with your neighbors to create firesafe communities and turn your roads and driveways into effective firebreaks.
With a few weeks of hard work, we can make our homes resistant to ember storms!
From The Beverly Hills Courier:
Plant maintenance is key. The most helpful action for fire prevention is ensuring proper care of plants and trees in gardens and next to structures for both access and protection. Regular pruning of dead branches and fronds, trimming plants beneath trees, removing dry leaves, and cutting back branches from any structure all provide the first step in fire safety.
The beautiful hills are in the most jeopardy. Fire moves breathtakingly quick in the canyons that adjoin residential areas. In the Bel Air Fire of 1961, the fast-spreading fire destroyed 500 homes and prompted the brush clearance laws and fire design guidelines that are in place today.
So who cares they got the money, an insurance why are you making a big deal out of it.
750$?
Wonder if the indians tribes had the same problem
Years ago when they
Inhabitated the land
They adapted to nature!
Hi I'm not aware of the locations of this fire. It's saying "The Mountain Fire" but there's a mountain range that runs from the 14 to the 805. could someone please tell me the surrounding cities affected? Thank You
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS DON'T WORRY WE WILL BUILD BACK BETTER THAN BEFORE THE FIRES IN HAWAII AND NOW CALIFORNIA TOO.
Dear Californians, make sure to find out if you qualify for $750. If you go across the border and comeback, you'll get $10,000 no questions asked.
The poor animals😢I have no sympathy for the 2 legged ones as america is a major contributor to climate change. They have themselves to blame!
Lord please bless your people and keep them in safe and protected in your righteous right hand. Last year April 2023, the Holy Spirit told me to wake up, get up and Pray without ceasing, as Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth is coming back very soon to fetch his Bride, The Church. The church is not a religion or building, it's having a Personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ. Get Baptised. Pray daily, with Repentance in your heart mind, body, Soul and Spirit. Lord Jesus loves you and wants you to come to Him. Read The Holy Bible daily, it's God's Word and how He speaks to you. God bless. Amen. Maranatha 🙏💕
What you get when you destroy our children you stupid Hollywood weirdos.
Don't look up
obama did it.
Is this news? It happens in CA every year. Yet, people rebuild in perennial hurricane, fire and mudslide areas and the rest of the country’s insurance rates soar.
