A wildfire east of Los Angeles that has forced thousands of people from their homes was sparked by a malfunctioning diesel vehicle, authorities say. They say the vehicle spewed burning carbon from its exhaust, igniting several fires in the area.

Bill Boehm helped his mother evacuate her home with her three horses and said the pandemic hasn’t stopped people from coming together to assist each other.

The blaze began as two adjacent fires in a rural area near the city of Beaumont, about 85 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. One home and two outbuildings were destroyed, California fire officials said. No injuries were reported. On California’s central coast, a fire in San Luis Obispo County was 60% contained Monday after burning more than 2 square miles of brush east of the community of Santa Margarita. Two structures were destroyed but officials said it was unclear whether they were homes.

Sounds like emissions equipment that California mandated malfunctioned. Ironic....

As of this highest temperature in one year we must pay all attention to any of the chance that leading forest fire which not only caring about people’s lives but also their treasures as well as national natural resources. Go and do it!

The important thing is that a business's profits were not impeded by any regulation that might have prevented this.

It's sad how massive wildfires have become common in SoCal...

Bull shit, it was crazy homeless people just like the last 20 fires.

How do they even find this type of stuff out?

'Malfunctioning diesel engine spewing carbon from it's exhaust' That's not a malfunction, someone just started a wildfire by rolling coal.

Maybe regulations are a good thing. I prefer to think of them as protections.
