So, I’m going to post several fire pics on here. These all came from online sources so please respect the copyright. And if you have any pictures that you’ve found, feel free to post them!
Many of these pictures were from the Camp Fire, Dixie Fire, and the Northwest Complex also known as the Bear Fire. There are probably some from other fires as well.
To keep trestles from burning, trains would spray water on the bridges in an effort to keep them from igniting.
Smoke plume from the Dixie Fire.
Smoke plumes can reach an elevation of 40,000 feet. When that happens, they start creating their own weather, such as thunderstorms. This can be harmful because lightening strikes can start fires ahead of the original one.
That is all shocking and remarkable I cannot believe all of this keeps going on. It scares me for people like you that live there. I am definitely thinking of you all and hoping that you will all be safe and keep well. Wow, the devastation in those photos. It is rather hard to wrap my head around. 
These pics are nothing abnormal for a wildfire. (Right?! Hard to believe!) Wildfires are simply are part of our summers (although is shouldn’t be that way). If there’s a fire, we hardly think about it unless it’s close to us, or flooding our sky with smoke.
This is probably even harder to wrap your mind around! 
Forest maintenance has gone down hill which is one of the reasons for all our fires. Also, PG&E, the electric company out here, (@GMDressen, you would be familiar with them) does not do well in maintaining their lines, so numerous fires result from that. 
Yep that is extremely true
Would you be affected at times by their PSPS?
What do you mean by that
Public Safety Power Shutoff. They’ll turn the electric off if the fire danger is high and it gets windy.
Oh yeah. I get affected some times
Grrr!! That makes me soooo mad sometimes when they do that because sometimes it isn’t even nessessary.
