"Every time I come to California I say this is the worst fire I’ve seen. Once again this is the absolute worst. Worse than any war zone I saw in Iraq. The heroism of firefighters is amazing."

...there is no time for fire
​
It only takes a single spark to start a flame. On the evening of December 4, 2017 at 6:26 p.m. that’s precisely what happened in Santa Paula, California.
​
Six minutes later the First Responders arrived. By then it was too late. The Thomas fire was out of control.
​
By January 2nd, what history will claim as California’s largest wildfire had cost $204 million dollars to fight. Forced the evacuation of more than 104 thousand residents.
​
Ten days later the U.S. Forest Service declared the Thomas Fire 100 percent contained, at 281.893 acres at a cost of $2.2 billion dollars. More than a thousand buildings destroyed and thousands of lives changed forever.
