California Wildfires

The conditions are finally starting to turn for the better in the battle against the Southern California wildfires. As always, many stories of heroism and generosity come out of a tragedy like this. Also, the response from the various levels of government seems to be more effective and coherent, though there will always be some problems. While there have been moves to politicize the situation from some quarters, at least there likely will not be the kind of rancor that occurred after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast two years ago.
