I remember back in 90’s in an affluent neighborhood in SoCal south of Oceanside, there was a big fire that went from house to house burning down entire neighborhoods because the houses had old wooden shake roofs that were all dried out. The slightest ember would get them burning. There was no stopping the fire from spreading. Really tragic, just like this one. Probably happened on a dry windy day too.
Yes. I agree that wooden roofs spread a fire.
But, blocking the evacuation routes so people couldn’t escape, turning off the water so they couldn’t fight the fire, and leaving on the electricity to downed wires were caused by alleged HUMANS. (These are documented facts, not conspiracy theories)
They need to be held accountable.
I remember that, as well.
I grew up in Southern California, and fires were an annual thing: Hot, dry conditions, and wind magnifies it exponentially.
