I can't help but think of those poor people and the Firefighters battling the fire. I am reminded every time I look outside I see the smoke in the distance and the ash falling all around us. So sad.

That is a very sad and disturbing picture. Even worse is the human carnage and loss, including lives lost.

We lost everything last Thursday. Home, shop, cars and our 29 CCPU. We are truly blessed. Family and pets made it out with our motor home. We are safe. So much destruction, so much suffering. It’s overwhelming but we all will recover.

So sorry to hear this, Wello. You are right to count your blessings, but I do feel for your loss and for your whole community. I live in a town of 35,000 people in western Victoria, Australia, and like you, our region is highly prone to devastating bushfires. We have lost whole towns too, but none the size of Paradise. I still can't imagine my town being totally wiped out. Paradise was not much smaller than my town. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

It's not nice and I feel for you people who have lost property, live stock and lives of friends and love ones. And for those who have lost their lives. I feel for you all.
I send my love to you. gary mexted. Tocumwal Australia.

I'm very sorry for your losses, but thankful your family and pets are ok. I am about 2 miles from part of the Woolsey fire in SoCal. Our home and my Model A are fine. Let's hope our great firefighters can contain these fires as soon as possible and everyone can help others recover and/or rebuild.
