    Someone’s definitely purposely committing arson.
  • Oroville is over an hour drive from Sacramento. Your reporter is geographically challenged.
  • @4NickAder
    every summer they drive west on 10 then north on 5 into California where the start fires if you see vehicles with Texas plates report them to the CHP
  • Gold rush days people flooded to Cali, born n raised in Cali. and like me people are migrating to the plains states
  • NOTHING TO SEE HERE, WITH ALL THE FIRES???? WHEN IS THE AUCTION????
  • @turk3088
    They set these firs and scream about the climate
  • The cost of issuing building permits for residential homes in fire prone areas with little or no fire suppression. They the rent them to AIRBNB guests who do not understand fire dangers or start doing yard work or off road in the dry grass and fires get started. All of that land was ranch land a few years ago.This land is a poor choice for home building because of the danger of fire and they keep doing it

  • @UFRooster
    Crazy how California keeps having wildfires!!!! Perhaps they should ask other states how to manage their forests.
