For anyone who followed Solo the skunk’s updates yesterday, he didn’t survive the night. :/

Who is that ? That is really sad news :ohno:

I really hope Gaga is ok, I need updates on her wellbeing

Read one of the fires is fully contained. Is it true? 

The one that started last night in Hollywood I believe they contained since they are now able to bring in helicopters and airplanes for support. That's at least according to what one of my coworkers out that way shared with me a while ago.

Hope fellow Angelenos and their pets here are safe from harm and can have somewhere to go to. 

I have evacuated my dad far before this, cos the fire keeps spreading. Lost 2 houses but that's OK, we can always build them back. Currently living in my place in Atlanta until everything calmed down, and we're going to have snow storm this weekend. 

May I have a house?

Ah finally some good news, I guess.

So I saw on the news this morning that the "Hurst" fire is pretty much contained, as well as the "Sunset" fire that popped up in Hollywood last night -- that was taken care of so quickly, truly impressive!

The "Palisades" fire and "Eaton" fires are still uncontained, but for the Eaton at least I think it's mostly spreading up into the mountainous areas to the north where there are no houses or anything. Hopefully things are slowing down at least

Why is this so common?

They need to stop building in risky areas, tge country is big enough 

I think it also has a lot to do with the fact that family homes in the US has usually light-frame construction, which seems not enough fire-resistant in a major fire. If you look at the pictures taken after the fire, the houses are literally burned to the ground, only the fence remains, cos it is made from stone/concrete/brick.

Fire scares the crap out of me. 

I feel for everyone who has lost their property, belongings and neighbourhood. Awful. Plus all the poor animals :(

I need to look into how fire forensics work. 

I find it absolutely fascinating how experts are so easily able to decipher exactly where and how a fire starts, even down to catching the perpetrator.

The most basic explanation is that things don't just disappear after they burn, the charred debris and ash tell a story about where the fire started from and the path it took to get there. If something was used to start the fire (like an accelerant) we have the ability to detect the exact substances used. If they pinpoint where it started, and they detect a lot of gasoline was burned where it shouldn't be, its likely someone put it there.
