"It really is that idea: do you have a community to come home to? If your community matters to you, and you want it to be there not just until the next disaster, but through the next disaster, you're going to have to do some things now."In just three days, it became the largest wildfire in California this year. As of Thursday, the blaze has scorched 58,668 acres and is 10% contained, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The fire has killed four people.
