California Fires
California fires are a major concern for homeowners and firefighters in California. Large California wildfires often do hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.
Rancho Bernardo Fire - Witch Fire may Destroy Everything to the Pacific Ocean!
Thousands of residents in Southern California’s Rancho Bernardo and Poway areas are fleeing their homes at this moment to avoid fires heading west.
Sadly, many reports indicate firefighting resources have been spent more on rescuing people who refused to evacuate than on stopping fires.
People - leave your home. Don’t risk your life.
Gusts continue reportedly at up to 69 mph.
The Witch Fire continues to travel west to Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Escondido, Forest Ranch and Lake Hodges.
Some officials sadly say the fire won’t stop until it reaches the Pacific Ocean, only destroying everything in its path. Let’s hope they are wrong.
250,000 people have already evacuated due to the Witch Fire.
It is believed the inferno is now worse than the Cedar Fire of four years ago. The Cedar Firekilled a dozen people and burned more than 280,000 acres.
