Paul Fisher/Paradise fire

[smitty44]

Howdy all. There is a huge wildfire near the town of Paradise California where Paul Fisher resides. Now would be a good time for prayers and positive thoughts. The entire town has been evacuated as far as I know. I lived through the same thing here in Redding in July.

Praying, man. Cross posted on 32nd Mafia as well.

Didn't realize how bad the fire was until I read about it this morning on CBC. 

Hope they're safe and sound.

Just checked on LSP/TOS, Paul, Suzy and the dogs made it out according to a member there.

Paul, anything you need please let us know my friend !.....Harv

They are reporting fatalities now for the Camp fire, people died in their cars trying to evacuate. Having lived through this recently, you learn what is important and what's not really fast. At least I did.

I heard that on the news. How awful. I can't imagine something so horrifying .....Harv

It only takes one person to have car trouble, run out of fuel, or get impatient and crash, and then a road is blocked for everyone. 

how incredibly sad.

Cathy and I have been watching KTLA-5 and they are on it all day........... it is an incredible sight............. at times the fire is moving so fast it looks like lava flowing..... and indiscriminate on what it burns as these large fires are......the numbers are staggering...... I'm still not sure how all this started, just a few days ago.......absolutely devastating..... and today the big winds start up again........ geez......

Kevin Futter of LSP has started a GoFundMe page to directly assist Paul. Word is that he has lost everything. With 24 hours, the goal of US $10k has been exceeded. If anyone is interested in donating, here is the link.

48 confirmed dead in the Camp Fire now, making this by far the deadliest ill fire in California history.

Still over a hundred people missing, though.  One of the dead was a 63 year old man with swollen limbs who couldn’t walk. He was on oxygen. There was no time. There was barely enough time for most able bodied. 

Remember the American Red Cross as well.

Groups like Samaritan’s Purse go in afterwards well, going site to site, helping people sift through the ashes to find even the smallest of memories.
