For those unaware, there are now approx. 33 people dead to California wildfires. Towns have been scorched, and hundreds of homes and businesses have been leveled. There are currently several large scale fires burning in California, and hundreds of thousands of acres have burned, and one of the larger ones near Sonoma County has burned 44,400 acres and is only 5% contained as of 3:39 pm 10/13 according to
http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents. Some of these fires have coupled with winds in blazes that move "faster than firefighters can run." In spite of that, firefighters have continued to fight what may appear to be an unwinnable war to protect people and property in California. Brave badasses the lot of them, and as a resident of California, they and their comrades have my thanks. #fires #california #firefighters #bravery #badass
