Soĺ Cal fires

I don't know. In NC alone there were 126,000 homes destroyed, 104 confirmed deaths and 60 billion in damages. I know the damage amount will probably be greater in California, but lots of people in NC are still living in tents and make shift shacks in the dead of winter. Here we are months after the fact.

There is definitely a bigger population of vulnerable people there too. It’s just a place with fewer opportunities than Southern California. A lot of socio-economic factors.
This subject is a lot deeper than most people’s thinking ability. Prejudices and bias prevent a lot of people from being empathetic.
