Per friends who live in the area, the Camp Fire started at about 6:30 a.m. By 2:30 p.m. evacuation orders were issued for all of Paradise and Magalia CA. Many people were working and could not get back into their homes, due to limited road access. So people did care about their pets,but could not reach them. Our friend’s pets perished in their home. They are heart-broken.
I can’t imagine the grief and guilt.
