I can't remember a time when more fires than this were all going at the same time in California

The problem is that firefighters are stretched so thin that they cannot really be expected to rescue people who stay too long and might burn up. Because of this people are told to go when they are told to go and if they don't then likely they might die all over California right now. Rescue of people who stay at their homes too long after being told to evacuate likely will not be rescued by firemen and possibly not by police either. People are pretty much on their own if they don't evacuate when they are told to now.

This is happening all over the state of California  right now wherever there are fires out of control.
