[lefty-lie-spy]

Why do I keep seeing this referred to as “wildfires”? I thought it was one fire caused by a downed power line that went out of control and burned down a resort and surrounding area. How did so many people die? Was it from bravado, ignorance, stupidity? I can’t imagine how so many people could be trapped on ground floors and not notice they might be in danger. Or am I missing some information?

Supposedly, the fire spread 1 mile a minute.
