California Fires

There was an article on ABC7.com about the California fires and the statistics of the damage the fires have cost.

So far:

-Acreage: 505,349.

-Homes destroyed: 1,790.

-Deaths: Seven directly due to fire; seven involving evacuees, including infirmity, age, accident.

-Injuries: 71 firefighters, 27 civilians.

-Evacuees: 4,403 people in 28 shelters.

My thoughts go out to all those in CA that are affected by the fires. The Red Cross is collecting donations to help those affected by the fires:
