My heart goes out to those who have lost their home to wildfires in California this year, and to those who have lost family members to the devastation. The loss of lives and property in the Camp Fire, especially, is hard to comprehend: over 40 lives, 6,000 homes, and 260 businesses businesses lost. Families throughout the country still waiting news of over 100 people still missing. Paradise, California, a community of 30,000, almost entirely wiped out.
Thanks of course go to the firefighters who came from throughout California, and from 17 other states (as far away as Alaska and Alabama) to help contain the fire. And to the law enforcement and search and rescue personnel who are now searching burned-out homes, and vehicles abandoned as flames overtook evacuees, for additional victims.
