They pushed it down the street...up near some brush...where the fire was going...Not sure if it's okay.


Hope so.


So much loss of life. Insane how fast these fires spread. Having lived in SoCal and been around the Santa Ana winds (which always show up in November)...it's not hard to see the fires covering 100 yards a second in extreme circumstances


Quote:
PARADISE, Butte Co. , Ca. — Thursday morning, when the Camp Fire was closing in on the area surrounding Butte County, the blaze was moving as quickly as a football field (100 yards) per second.


For many, there was no way to outrun the fire. Currently, there are more than 100 people reported missing as a result of the devastating fire.
Ten coroner’s office teams were spread out in Paradise and the surrounding communities starting on Sunday, embarking on the daunting task to find the remains of those still unaccounted for in the ashes.


“We’re just going door to door, house to house, looking for families loved ones that are missing,” said Jake Hancock, who is a District Attorney Investigator in Butte County.


Investigators tried to find signs of where a bedroom used to be, or a bathtub or a fireplace, or anywhere someone may have been trapped or tried to use as shelter.


The intensity and heat of the Camp Fire made the recovery task more difficult.


“In some cases, the only remains we are able to recover are bones or bone fragments,” said Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea.

That's a 66 Shelby. This is all so horrible.

"Authorities have reported 13 more fatalities from a blaze in Northern California that destroyed a town, bringing the total death toll so far to 42 and making it the deadliest wildfire in recorded state history."

Our small local Fire District sent 4 firefighters and a truck or two to help out with the fires in SoCal. Godspeed to all involved.

If that Shelby survived, the owner will be buying the boys a case of beer.
