Cameron Mathison took videos chronicling the tragic events. He explained that while his family’s safety came first, he shared,
“I’ve lost my home and everything I own. I have this hoodie, a pair of pants, and two pairs of sneakers left. That’s it.”

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Governor Gavin Newsome Called Out By Trump
In the midst of all the tragedy and chaos of the fires and everyone evacuating their homes, many blame Governor Gavin Newsome for the wildfires. President-elect Donald Trump humorously called him “Gavin Newscum.”
Trump pointed the finger at Newsome, explaining that the Governor declined to sign a water restoration declaration. Trump said this restoration would have brought millions of gallons of water from the North. The water would flow daily into parts of California, including the areas most affected by the fires.
According to Trump, “Newsome wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt by giving it less water, but didn’t care about the people of California.” It was later disputed by experts that Trump’s claims were false.
Newsome was asked why the fire hydrants ran out of water, and he responded,
“Local folks are going to have to figure that out.”
Many are furious with the Governor for not providing the necessary resources to combat wildfires. Reports from California-based media outlets have slammed Newsome for neglecting to deliver on his promises to improve the state’s wildfire strategy.
As of now, the deadly wildfires remain primarily uncontained. As of Thursday afternoon, six people have died as a result of this disaster, and an untold significant number of people were injured.
We send our thoughts and prayers to those people affected by the fires, the families who have lost their homes, and the animals displaced.
