When a family loses their home, their belongings, their love ones it is a tragedy beyond description . We feel sorry for those who face this predicament, one that no one would chose for them self. We are seeing this play out in California.  At last count 6400 homes have been destroyed.  Paradise California will never be the same as a once home to  25,000 has been devastated beyond recognition; 29 are dead at last count, killed by the fires, 300,000 evacuated area wide.

Gov. Jerry Brown said California is requesting aid from the Trump administration. President Donald Trump has blamed “poor” forest management for the fires. Brown told a press briefing that federal and state governments must do more forest management but said that’s not the source of the problem.

“Managing all the forests in everywhere we can does not stop climate change,” Brown said. “And those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies that we’re now witnessing, and will continue to witness in the coming years.”
