On Thursday, the “Camp” Fire broke out near the town of Paradise in Butte County. Within hours, the town was completely destroyed, leaving dozens dead and nearly 30,000 people homeless. Later that day, the “Hill” and “Woolsey” Fires broke out in Southern California, causing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate as the Woolsey Fire, in particular, spread with a speed that stunned even those who have been fighting fires their whole lives as it raced towards the Pacific Ocean.
