The fast-moving Oak Fire tore through over 6,000 acres in Mariposa county, California, forcing more than 6,000 residents to evacuate. Still 0% contained, Governor Newsom called for federal assistance as the fire reached 30 miles from the doorstep of Yosemite National Park. Β» Subscribe to NBC News:

I wonder if there are really fires going on. These MSM outlets have shown fraudulent videos before and we know the constantly lie.
pv=nrt t is temperature
These fires are caused by Putin's sabotaers
ππππ
Stop wasting all your damm water then complaining about it
I know who started it.
Beautiful fire horrible state
Here They Go With The Fires In California.
DIRECT ENERGY WEAPONS are Being Used Like They Do Every Year.
Man Made Destructionβ’
All this gear to wear on them in this heat and fight fires π₯΅ they are strong and brave! They are superheroes and luckily they are here! Thank you all!π
Yet everyones surprised just like every year
yea at some point you just wonder if there is someone paying these people to start fires, trying to destroy the planet
I pray protect them all humans and animals there.
ah yes it's that time of year again everthing is burning now
Thereβs a lot of people I would just love to toss in there.π₯
I'm done feeling sorry for these people. They actively choose to live in dangerous areas when scientists have stated millions of times that humans need to move away from climatologically dangerous areas and to adapt to climate change. This is the result when you refuse to do anything about climate change. Adapt or die. Those are the only options we have left.
So sad but we are living in the E N D times, the 7year Tribulation with the world leader (Antichrist, 666) is right around the corner, that's GOD'S judgement upon all unbelievers! But there is hope – get saved and be rapture ready: accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior today!!!
Please study biblical end times prophecy; listen to Dr. Ron Rhodes on end times chronology.

The irony here is sequoias and redwoods breed in fire, lol. I'm less concerned about the park and more about the people. Nature isn't weak and Yosemite is one of the few parks I'd say we have touched minimally, if that wasn't the case I'd be more worried. Yosemite has seen fires before and will continue to see them, please be more informative about the risk to lives.
Lord, have mercy!
Far too many trees. You need to clear cut
Thanks democrats for creating another humanitarian crisis by mismanagement of another natural resource, forestry conservation is necessary here, create areas to stop 100,000 acre burn paths, incompetent democrats again and electric powered cars wouldn't erase the fifty year carbon footprint on these wildfires, incredibly incompetent democrats managing our trees and the loss of wildlife and habitat worse than clearing 1,000,000 acres for a solar or wind farm. Tragic incompetence and the liberals should be arrested and serve a year of imprisonment for every wild animal lost!
Earth-churning with a snowblower or tool-and-leaf-blower kicks up enough dirt and dust to quench fire without water at all.
30 miles is near? Try to walk it.
Abandon Cali! You all will lose more and more each year. Scientists said it years ago.
Its bad when nbc cares more for commercials and not whats going on
EARTHLINGS must now consider to settle in a new location, the MOON perhaps.
EARTHLINGS must now prepare the MOON for human existence.
Every summer its the same story. When are we going to learn to be proactive about thinning these forests in strategic areas to prevent mass spread when fire hitsβ¦
Almost stupid to fight it. The brush is gonna dry up again and a new fire will come later.
well do not do any forest management ……π€
Talk about losing money on an investment. Having your house burn down takes the cake.

We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events.
In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system.
It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will.
Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high.
Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry?
Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.
Wake up people !!! The feds are burning America !!! It's your land they want !!! It's time PATRIOTS, to take back what they, the COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT, ANSWER TO US, THE PEOPLE !!! THEY HAVE COMMITTED TREASON AGAINST AMERICA !!! DEATH IS THE SENTENCE FOR TREASON !!!
Hey humans campers…stop being so wreckless and careless
I got an idea, just drop ice on it
The most powerful country in the whole World, the bigest air force with, It is unable to stop the California State Wildfires… What a shame!
The ppl that set the world on fire need to pay #ReparationNOW
Yet another mismanaged thing by Newscum..
How does something planned become an emergency? All they had to do was clean the forests, they didn't. They took that money and burned landfill garbage over us in CA 20 years ago for this fake green. Only a few died and many of us sickened, we're just waiting to get even and we see this program as karma or justice for the stupid in CA. Newsom did this, Arnold did this too. Because it's fake.
America is a cod struck country
Weβre the tree hungers lol
Wood burns starting at 390 degrees, and matches burn at 600Β°-800Β°.. These fires were started..
Oak fire has nothing to do with the environment. Its cause is hot volcanic vents. The culdera of Yellowstone is about to blow. That's the reason they closed the park last month. The media is lying to everyone.
Prayer to all the fire departments and all the firefighters who risk their lives that my home town god bless them they are the best fire departments great job keep up the great work
God Bless Everyone.

"EXPLODES?" Seriously? If that's truly the case, then these are targeted fires and needs to be exposed.
People are talking about how they worry for the animals but I feel like we need to worry for everyone everything.. my sister is one of the people that haven't evacuated and her dogs aren't safe either. I am praying for these people to be okay.
Also my sister is part of the people that refuse to evacuate.. I continue to worry about her…
Pretty soon all humans will die.
Timber sawed down should be gathered in long stripped areas. These areas should be wide enough so they can help stop forest fires from spreading and it would leave firefighters room enough to enter the stripped areas to fight the fires more easily. For the most part, timber should be cut down in the mountains that are closer to towns. I know that this would look strange but it could be very helpful to save people's homes and lives. It's like having a strategic war against forest fires. Most timber is selected individually to be cut down. That is ok as long as they cut the stripped areas out as well to prevent the spread of fires. When will they ever learn??
