November 8, 2018.

It's around three o'clock at night.

Heavenly Town, Butte County, northern California, ignited a bearish life on a barren mountain.

Because it's at night.

It was still a relatively far away from the city. So no one paid attention to it. The wind was dry and the things were dry that night, and the wind blew.

Fire borrows the wind.

When it was just dawn.

This time, life has formed an irrepressible wind, and it is directed to Heavenly Town, Butte County.

And in the course of these few hours.

The attacks along the way by the wildfires have caused more than five people to die and 16 people to disappear temporarily.

The houses of more than 20 families turned into ashes in the flames. By dawn, the news was passed on to the entire California and the United States with the injuries.

It comes naturally.

The news was sent to Orange County, Los Angeles, in southern California.

Just a wildfire.

For local Californians, it’s just a matter of time. If there is no wildfire in California every year, it can be considered a world-renowned news. Just like New York, there is no sound within 48 hours, and the mayor can go on TV to show his merits.

Many geographical locations here are prone to fire. To put it bluntly, many residential areas in California should not live in at all. Americans have to live there with a strong sense of perseverance, diverting water and irrigating, and creating habitats. But no matter how many you are in nature, it will catch fire when it is time to catch fire.

Why do wildfires repeatedly threaten life? And it is always here? There are many places with high incidence of fires all over the world, but every year it is news at the California, Canada, Australia, and this is another reason.

Because of the American character and the reality that is highly integrated with the American government and enterprises, it has created a reality that only extinguishes fire but not fireproof.

The fire department has repeatedly invested manpower and material resources to extinguish each fire, because extinguishing fire is a merit, but fire prevention is not. As far as the practice of countries around the world is concerned, wildfires cannot be extinguished. The most reasonable way to deal with wildfires is to let them burn. Artificially limit the scope of combustion, draw out part of forests and some housing to protect residential areas, and if the area with high incidence of fire cannot be avoided when building houses, be careful not to have flammable points.

It means that if a house near a fire is not disposed of specifically in some locations, it will spontaneously burn without being directly attacked by flames.

Moreover, commercial insurance in the United States is extremely developed, so home buyers will move into these high-profile areas with more "unscrupulous" and even move in more and more times. Anyway, as long as you are not burned to death and the house is burned, the insurance company will build a new building for you!

If the house is still an old house that has been for many years, and if it is burned by a wildfire, the insurance company will pay for a new building. What a cost-effective transaction, you don’t have to worry about living in it, and you will lose more than you buy.

The premise is that you are not burned to death.

so.

Every year, dozens or hundreds of people in California will die under terrifying wildfires. However, they still cannot resist many people and live in places where flames are prone to occur.

Such a mortality rate.

If it happened in East Asia, especially in China, if it came once or twice a year, I guess the top leaders at the provincial and municipal levels would be beaten up several times.

Here...

It’s so common. As long as the governor and mayor don’t go on vacation when a wildfire occurs, burning a few more people will not affect the livelihood and political achievements of the governor and mayor.

At the beginning, Male Mahon and his campaign had no idea about the wildfires in Paradise Town, Boutique County.

Just a wildfire.

Even if many people die, they are already a little numb to California.

But the situation took a sharp turn.

It was noon.

This wildfire that began in Paradise Town, Butte County, California actually had a gradual escalation. With the help of the south wind, it had already passed Paradise Town, Butte County, and headed towards several California counties next door, and it was unstoppable along the way.

Inside Mahon's studio.

As a candidate this time, Male Mahon looked at the news on TV with a pale face. The scenes in the news were the overwhelming flames and the people in California who drove away.

The reason why he has this expression.

It’s not because he is a Virgin, who has pitied these people who have lost their family. It’s because Male Mahon suddenly realized that at this time, if a super wildfire occurred in California.

It must be very unfavorable to yourself!

Because the opponent I fear most was not the black lawyer who seemed very threatening but was actually a weak man. But the girl with a surname like Adams, one of the founding fathers of the country.

He remembered correctly.

The campaign philosophy of my biggest enemy is firefighting and public security

And education!

The firefighter was also placed in front.

Now, the big mountain fires in Paradise Town, Butte County are like this, and Orange County in Los Angeles are still panicked even if they are separated by 100,800 miles, because ordinary people are so stupid.

But those votes are in the hands of these stupid people.

In the morning.

During the meeting, both Male Mahon and the assistants of his campaign team were very optimistic.

But it was noon.

It was at this time. This inappropriate wildfire in Paradise Town, Butte County changed the emotional atmosphere of the campaign teams in the office.

"Which idiot's point is? When doesn't happen? It happens at this time! Can't you wait for the election to end? Then go and have fun!"

Looking at the videos and images in the news, Male Mahon cursed with a pale face. If it were the past, when he was just a simple real estate businessman, he would often feel the joy of the capitalist when he saw a wildfire happening and not burning his own villa...

After all, he is engaged in real estate.

After the wildfire, besides life and forests, the most common ones burned are houses. Life is burned, just continue to grow. When the forest is burned, just continue to grow. When the house is burned, so naturally I can only find real estate developers like him.

This used to mean business opportunities.

But this time.

But it made him feel extremely troublesome.

Especially in his campaign, a guy who was mainly responsible for intelligence work sent him a news that made him feel extremely troubled.

"That Adams woman took advantage of the forest fire in Paradise Town, Butte County...to be ready to release a speech in the city square to initiate a fundraising for the entire Orange County of Los Angeles..."

"The other party bribed many local newspapers and was preparing to publicize the harm of wildfires... In addition, it is said that it mainly reports on the possibility of large wildfires near Orange County, Los Angeles!"

"She is also planning to temporarily modify the Los Angeles City County Fire Brigade Competition, which was originally launched, and the content of the competition was changed to see which fire brigade can reach Paradise Town, Butte County as soon as possible and get the first victory of the competition..."

“In the name of Winnie Adams and the people of Orange County, Los Angeles…”

“…”

Several messages were placed in front of Male Mahon and his campaign team.

"fxxk!" He couldn't help but scold.

In this case, Male Mahon knew that unless the wildfire in Paradise Town, Butte County this time was put out, otherwise the woman of Adams would probably take advantage of this super fire to launch a fierce offensive against her election team.

He was having a headache.

In such a poorly harmonious situation, a subordinate whispered: "It's just a wildfire... it shouldn't have any impact. In what year hasn't happened in California dozens of times?"

There was another person who agreed.

"Yes! Is that time not big in July and August this year? I ate several people."

"It's fine……"

With the comfort of his subordinates, Male Mahon felt a little nervous, and he felt a little more comfortable.

But looking at the big flames in the picture, I felt a vague premonition in my heart.

This election.

Maybe it's going to be bad!

…………

…………

The flames of Paradise Town, Butte County.

Other places in California.

It’s still time to live, but you still have to live.

When Male Mahon and the others didn't know about the fire, they were just having a meeting discussing the pleasure of Winnie Adams and other candidates' failure.

The other side of California.

Malibu Beach.

Malibu Beach is located in the southwest of Los Angeles, California. Malibu Beach is one of the most prestigious beaches in Los Angeles, located north of Santa Monica Beach.

The reason why it is famous is that in addition to the typical blue sea and blue sky in Southern California, it also has various shapes and various strange rocks, and the beach scenery is beautiful and unique; secondly, Malibu is one of the wealthiest cities in Los Angeles, where many Hollywood stars and performing artists live, which invisibly adds popularity to the beaches here.

Look down from the sky.

On the long coastline of hundreds of kilometers here, except for the white sand beaches, it is almost next to the beach, and on some cliffs or places above the cliffs.
