Far too many fires burning in California across the state. Fire names Kincade, Caples, Taboose, Burris Saddleridge, Hillside, Hill, Cooper, Getty, Palisades, Maria, and easy are all different fires from Northern California to southern California. Stretching all fire crews thin many from other agencies and states join the fight. Various counties along the California state are fighting both on the ground and in the air to fight these devasting fire that destroy home and people livelihood. Kincade fire out of all of these started October 23 and the largest with an estimated 80,000 acres burned in northern California.

Earlier this week we reported like many media outlets about the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library being threatened. Thank God this did not happen and the hard work by Ventura County Fire Department and ingenious way of preventing it. All agencies fought the fire the best way possible and with Santa Anna winds this week gusting up causing situations to get worse. Extreme Red flag conditions were many other factors that has made this one of the worse fires in California’s history.
